Juliana Blue Watermelon Parure

- Pamela Wiggins
The large oval stones in this parure are often referred to by collectors as watermelon stones, even though they're not pink and green, but the actual manufacturer's name for these is heliotrope. Juliana jewelry is never signed, but can sometimes be found with its original hang tag still attached.

Value: $711.99 parure shown (eBay 10/07); necklace only $362.60 (eBay 7/08)
