KJL, Ken Lane, Kenneth J. Lane.... All the same but different


If you have been around you have probably heard of Kenneth J. Lane. There are books out about his jewelry and you would be hard pressed to look at a vintage jewelry site without seeing a piece that is signed by him. That is when the confusion starts if you want to find out when the piece of jewelry was made. There are several charts online to find out more information on years made. Let me know if you can't find them and I will send you a list.


We have several neat pieces of KJL jewelry on our site at http://www.vintagejewelryplus.com/

One is a fantasy dragon or sea monster, the other piece is part of the "New York Collection" with faux onyz and faux pearls and clear rhinestones - very pretty. Just visit our site to see them at http://www.vintagejewelryplus.com/


I will soon be adding some KJL door knocker Lion head earrings, plus other neat things from KJL.

Fantastic New Book On Juliana Jewelry



If you love over the top sparkling jewelry, then Juliana
Jewelry is just your style. You may not even know the name of these gorgeous Vintage Jewels, but you can sure pick them out. Just look for some of the brightest and most beautiful jewelry. Juliana jewelry is never marked on the jewelry. They were originally sold with hang tags, but most of those are long gone. The DeLizza and Elster Jewelry Company manufactured the Juliana line of jewelry in the 1960's.
The new book is "Juliana Jewelry Reference DeLizza & Elster Identification Value Guide" by Ann Pitman. It is getting rave reviews from everyone who has purchased it. If you want to learn more about Juliana Jewelry this is the book that you need.

Read about a great jewelry designer - Hattie Carnegie

Since we sell and buy Vintage Jewelry, we want to help people learn more about it and some of it's designers. Amy Wiggin, a member of one of our jewelry groups, has created a website about a designer that she loves and respects, Hattie Carnegie. Hattie was a fashion designer and opened her business about 1919. She then designed Jewelry also. Hattie was also the boss/loyal friend to Lucielle Ball. You need to read the story about Lucy, it is infornation that you probably never knew. The information on Hattie and her life is detailed through Amy's dedicated research and hard work.
