Unsigned vintage jewelry featuring a black and orange enamel body with a rhinestone face from the 1960s to 1970s is most commonly attributed to Kenneth Jay Lane (KJL), Gerry’s, or the DeLizza & Elster (Juliana) group. During this era, “jobbers” often manufactured the same designs for multiple brands, leaving many high-quality pieces unmarked.
Likely Manufacturers & Designers:
The following makers were prolific in creating enameled figural jewelry (such as bugs, cats, or birds) with these specific characteristics:
Kenneth Jay Lane (KJL): Famous for bold, high-fashion “fake” jewelry. KJL produced numerous enamel-and-rhinestone animal pieces in the 1960s and ’70s. Many were sold through high-end boutiques or television shopping later on, and while some are signed, many early or mass-produced “jobber” versions remain unsigned.
Gerry’s: A common maker of whimsical, figural animal brooches. They frequently used bright enamel (including orange and black) combined with rhinestone accents for eyes or faces.
DeLizza & Elster (Juliana): This company rarely signed their work, opting for paper hang tags instead. They are known for high-quality “poured” enamel and multi-layered rhinestone designs that often feature insect or animal motifs.
Original by Robert: While often signed, this brand was a leader in the “morgue” style of enameled jewelry (hand-painted, textured enamel often depicting fruit or animals) and sometimes produced unsigned pieces for department store lines.
