The Judith H Siegel collection is the greatest collection of Giuliano to have been made this necklace which has only come to the market twice in 50 years is probably the finest necklace of the collection. Giuliano prices are still significantly undervalued when compared with other great makers so creates a rare opportunity to buy one of the finest Giuliano necklaces at a realistic sum.
