Legendary American designer Kenneth Jay Lane became celebrated for transforming costume jewelry into objects of fantasy and high fashion. His designs were worn by style icons including Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, and the Duchess of Windsor. During his collaborations with Avon, Lane brought his signature wit and sophisticated glamour to a wider audience, creating distinctive pieces marked KJL for Avon that have since developed a devoted following among vintage jewelry collectors.

Animal motifs were an important part of Lane’s design vocabulary, allowing him to combine classical symbolism with playful theatricality. The ram, traditionally associated with strength, confidence, and determination, becomes a wonderfully extravagant jewel in his hands.
