$195 USDEARLY KJL Kenneth Lane Criscrossed Ribbons & Rhinestone Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Kenneth Jay Lane:Kjl
A large bow that's a cut above the rest . . . that's what this early Kenneth Jay Lane brooch is! This big 3" x 3" brooch has criscrossed teal and navy blue ribbons sitting on a dome encrusted with glitzy rhinestones. Chic and stately, definitely. The two tone ribbons are sleek enamel, with goldtone trim. They criscross in the center and flare out in four sections, with the teal band in between two blue ones. The design formed from the ribbons is a cross, or "cross pattée"; or a variation of the ...

Bright and cheerful, yes! Also, colorful, zany and fun! All of the above apply to this strikingly-banded enamel demi by Kenneth Jay Lane. Circa the '60s, the early KJL design period, our bracelet and earrings set juxtaposes two unusual colors, yellow ochre and orange coral, in color blocks, and with gilt trim.

$475 USDKJL Kenneth Jay Lane Glitzy Tiger Bangle: Book Pc.
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Kenneth Jay Lane:Kjl
In his memoirs, "Faking It", Kenneth Jay Lane recalls that upon seeing a good friend of his wearing Victorian turquoise snake bangles, he was inspired to create some of his own. Well, that spark of creativity grew to a whole menagerie of fabulous animal bangles that KJL is renowned for. One of his famous designs is this rhinestone-and-enamel tiger hinged bracelet, featured on p. 98 of his book. Originally, circa 1969; our bracelet is probably an '80s reissue, but no less outstanding, with the ...
SOLDSOLD KJL Kenneth Jay Lane Gleaming Green Alligator Bracelet
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Kenneth Jay Lane:Kjl
Down in the bayous of Louisiana lives a green-nosed alligator named Gaston, whose delightful antics include heading a fleet of flying alligators to help Santa Claus deliver presents one Christmas eve. This glistening green alligator bracelet by Kenneth Jay Lane reminds me of Gaston so much! Sooo cute, sooo charming! While author James Rice's Gaston enthralled kids with his escapades, this KJL alligator bracelet will elicit "oohs" and "aahs" from practically everyone for its winning looks! Our ...
SOLDSOLD KJL Kenneth Lane Jeweled Cobra Ring
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Kenneth Jay Lane:Kjl
Isn't this bejeweled cobra ring irresistible? By Kenneth Jay Lane, this serpentine beauty dazzles with its faux daimond, emerald and ruby accents, and its rich 24-karat goldplating. I've sold a bunch of KJL's snake rings in the store (check out the others!), yet I can't keep myself from getting some more! These slithery critters just have a certain magnetism — don't you agree? This one is a cobra, coiled twice around, with its head sticking up and its tail curled. Its head and tail are encrusted ...

SOLDSOLD KJL Kenneth Jay Lane Opulent Gem-Studded Fish Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Kenneth Jay Lane:Kjl
In Japan, the "koi" or carp fish is revered as a symbol of love and friendship. This ornate fish brooch by Kenneth Jay Lane reminds me of a koi, or a stylized dragon perhaps, and it is stunning. Circa the '60s, when KJL created a series of mythical creature pins like the Pegasus (see the piece in the storefront), the unicorn, and this one, which seems to combine the most striking features of the Chinese dragon with the undulating beauty of a fish. Like his other mythical pins, this one stands ...

Our most coveted find is among the earliest and grandest of his fantasy bangle designs from the '60s. Along with the snake and a few other mythical creatures like the sea serpent, the double dragon has been reprised many times over, to meet an ever-increasing demand and popularity.

Dubbed as any number of names — dragon, fish, or even panther — this classic design was originally produced in 1968. And yes, in KJL's own memoirs, "Faking It", it is labelled as a double tiger.

This is from the '60s, when KJL designs began captivating the costume jewelry world. Among these, his bangles — thick, colorful, mostly faux gemstone-encrusted — were the finest. Our bangle ...

The powerful Ram, first astrological sign in the Zodiac, looks so majestic in this brooch creation by Kenneth Jay Lane. This pin is among KJL's "fantasy animal" creations from the '60s, and like all of them that I have come across, has that extra "oomph" that sets it apart from the rest. Our ram's head pin is highly textured, with rhinestones and glass cabochon and dark green and purple enamel accents. The pin is the profile of a goateed ram, his curved horns enameled in alternating bands of ...
SOLDSOLD EARLY KJL Kenneth Lane Exotic Asian Deity Pin
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Kenneth Jay Lane
In his memoirs, "Faking It", designer Kenneth Jay Lane reveals, "China fascinates me, but alas, I've never been there". Although the closest he's been there is to the Chinatown in San Francisco, KJL produced during the '60s-'70s a remarkable number of faux jade and other Asian-inspired jewelry. Among them is this charming pin of a Chinese goddess (or lady), in faux cinnabar, jade and ivory. Until I found this, I had not encountered any KJL Asian human figurals before, and this one is so ...
