History: Juliana – a collector's nickname given to jewelry made by DeLizza & Elster – pieces were originally marked only with paper hang tags and only on select pieces made for a short time in the late 1960s. Most of those tags were discarded when the original owners wore the pieces leaving the jewelry unmarked today.

Juliana Jewellery was founded by William DeLizza and Harold Elster ~ 1947 New York – William's son's Frank and Anthony joined the company soon after its inception. In the 1960s the company began to produce the costume jewellery that so many have come to know and love – Juliana. ... The jewellery had a limited run.

Rhinestones which are also known as diamantes or paste date back as far as the thirteenth century where they were first made from Czechoslovakian or Bohemian hand blown glass. The term rhinestone came along later, when rock crystals were discovered in and around the shores of the river Rhine in Austria.
