Make a statement with these show-stopping Kenneth Jay Lane vintage 1980s earrings, made in the USA for Avon. The door-knocker style is both edgy and timeless, adding a contemporary vintage edge to any outfit.

Kenneth Jay Lane revolutionized costume jewellery in 1963, making it chic and accessible. The designer was widely known for his imaginative use of color in his pieces, incorporating amethyst, coral, amber, turquoise, sapphire, and topaz, among others. His inspiration from nature led him to create unique designs, incorporating embroidery, peacock feathers, iridescent beetle bodies, and more. Lane called his designs "faux masterpieces," which were a huge hit with both celebrities and fashion enthusiasts alike. Today, his pieces are highly sought after and considered a staple in any vintage jewellery collection.

These earrings measure approximately 2 inches in length, weigh 13 grams each, and are for pierced ears. The Kenneth Jay Lane stamp for Avon is featured on the reverse of each earring, providing authenticity, and the earrings are in excellent condition. Please note that the backs are not original.

Condition

We never sell anything we would not be proud to wear ourselves.  Vintage pieces are special because they have a story to tell and that is sometimes reflected in its unique patina.

Most vintage pieces have minor imperfections which we try our very best to describe and reflect honestly in our photography. 

How we classify the condition of our pieces

New - pieces that have never been worn and are in pristine condition.

Mint condition - pieces that in near perfect condition. They look as if they have never been worn or have been looked after exceptionally well.

Excellent condition - pieces that look hardly used, there may be a few tiny little scratches or marks that can only be seen if you look closely and unnoticeable when worn.

Very good condition - pieces that look a little used, minor scratches, chips or marks from years of wear or storage but consistent with age and adds to vintage patina and charm. There will not be any structural or functional problems.

Taking care of your jewellery

Signs of age add to the unique appeal and story of your precious pieces, but to minimise unwanted damage try to avoid liquids, make up and hair products and where possible try to store flat in packaging to avoid storage wear and tear.

We are always happy to make any repairs whether you have purchased through our store or not.
