Kenneth Jay Lane (1932-2017), known by collectors as K.J.L. graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1954. He started by designing shoes for Christian Dior, and some of his creations included rhinestones. Lane began experimenting with jewelry as well. His jewelry career took off in 1963 when the Duchess of Windsor raved about his jewelry to reporters. As he became fully immersed in the costume jewelry business, Lane had a number of celebrity customers and he created custom pieces for several of them. Among them were Jackie Kennedy, Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn.

He also had a long-running stint on the home shopping channel QVC beginning in the early 1990s and before that many American women were introduced to his jewelry in the Avon catalogs. Lane’s jewelry has also been sold in high-end boutiques and department stores like Neiman Marcus

Lane remained active in his New York showroom and on QVC well into his senior years spending more than five decades in the costume jewelry industry. He died in 2017 at the age of 85.

Jewelry by Kenneth Jay Lane has been produced both in the United States and in other parts of the world. Among the domestic jewelry manufacturers doing work for Lane during his early years was New York-based DeLizza & Elster, the company that made “Juliana” jewelry. Later, Gem-Craft, Inc. based in Cranston, Rhode Island manufactured some of his designs and others were made in Asian factories.
