Kenneth Jay Lane Lily of the Valley Pearl and Rhinestone Brooch
This is a vintage-style floral brooch designed by Kenneth Jay Lane (marked KJL), specifically a 'Lily of the Valley' motif. The piece is constructed from a gold-tone base metal with a polished finish. It features thirteen bell-shaped lily flowers rendered in molded white faux-pearl resin or glass, each with a lustrous nacreous sheen. The stems are gathered at the base and secured with a decorative bow encrusted with small, round, brilliant-cut clear pavé-set rhinestones. The design is elegant and three-dimensional, typical of KJL’s costume jewelry and reminiscent of mid-20th-century aesthetic revivals. The construction shows fine detail in the curvature of the petals and the looped metal stems. The condition appears excellent with no visible loss of stones, peeling of the faux pearl coating, or heavy tarnish to the gold plating. This specific design is highly collectible within the KJL floral series, likely dating from the 1980s or 1990s.
