These Kenneth Jay Lane (KJL) lion head earrings with a ring in the mouth may date from the 1960s (circa 1960-1970). Their design - a dramatic, sculptural lion motif with a bright gold surface - was particularly popular among fashion icons of the 1960s and 1970s. The mark "KENNETH © LANE" was introduced around the late 1960s and was used throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Metal texture - an uneven, textured surface is characteristic of early 1960s design, when inspiration came from antique and baroque styles. Clasp mechanism - older clip mechanisms often date to the 1960s.
