Kenneth Jay Lane Crystal & Enamel Butterfly Brooch
Delicate statement piece.
This Kenneth Jay Lane butterfly pin has the presence of a miniature jeweled object. Cream and mint-green enamel wings are traced in warm gold tone and deep mauve-brown, with clusters of iridescent rhinestones that flash subtly as the light changes. At approximately three inches wide, it is substantial enough to read as part of an outfit rather than a small finishing detail.
Why It Stands Out
The dimensional shape, unusual color combination, and sparkling details make this a brooch you notice. The enamel and rhinestones are especially striking up close: cream and mint green keep the palette light, while deeper mauve-brown details and gold-tone metal add warmth.
The reverse is signed KJL, confirming Kenneth Jay Lane as the maker. This design is associated with Avon and likely dates to circa 2007, although the exact date has not been independently confirmed.
Styling & Use
Pin it to a jacket lapel, sweater, scarf, or coat when you want to add a little color and sparkle. It can also be worn on a structured handbag or displayed with other favorite jewelry when it isn’t being worn.
Because the colors are soft rather than bright, it works just as easily with neutrals as it does with green, plum, brown, or cream.
Condition
Excellent pre-owned condition. All crystals are intact, and the enamel surfaces present very well. The pin mechanism and signed reverse are shown in the photographs. Please review the images for a closer look at the finish and hardware.
