RARE Verified JULIANA V-Shape Bib Necklace w/ Sapphire & Clear Austrian Crystals

This is an extremely RARE piece. I've searched all my sources and only found another like it only with green stones, until (drum roll) I purchased Ariel Bloom's "Pictorial Guide To Costume Jewelry" and found it on page 10, also with green stones. This stunner is the ULTIMATE head-turner! PERFECT for the Bride, her MOH, MOG, or MOB, or for an Anniversary celebration, Black Tie Gala, a drag theater or stage performance, evening gown competition, or as the perfect addition to your vintage collection. This Delizza & Elsner Juliana V-Shaped bib necklace is spectacular with huge prong set tear drop sapphire blue Austrian crystals, and dog-tooth prong set mid-sized blue Austrian head lights surrounded with brilliant crystal clear chatons set in the characteristic double-tiered rosettes, found in many D & E designs. Additionally, it's set in dazzling rhodium plate that shows the typical puddling found in almost all D&E pieces. Measures 19" around the neck but can be worn shorter, depending on where you hook the clasp. The "Bib" portion measures 5 1/2" wide and 6 1/2" long In fabulous condition for a 70+ year old piece. No missing or darkening stones. This beauty has been well taken care of. Past owners must have known to NOT use hairspray or perfume AFTER donning their jewelry (death to rhinestones) and knew to store it out of sunlight and humidity.
