Kenneth J Lane Collection

KJL (Kenneth Jay Lane) is one of the most celebrated names in costume jewelry, known for creating glamorous, high-fashion designs that captured the look of fine jewelry at an accessible price. Founded by Kenneth Jay Lane in the early 1960s, the brand became a favorite of celebrities, royalty, and fashion icons for its bold rhinestone creations, colorful enamels, animal-inspired motifs, and elegant statement pieces.

Juliana (DeLizza & Elster) manufactured jewelry designs for KJL, particularly rhinestone pieces. However, not all KJL jewelry was made by Juliana. Kenneth Jay Lane worked with multiple manufacturers throughout the years, making it important for collectors to evaluate each piece individually. Verified Juliana-made KJL jewelry combines the distinctive craftsmanship of DeLizza & Elster with the iconic styling that made Kenneth Jay Lane a legendary name in fashion jewelry.
