☉
A whimsical griffin in gold plate set with cabochons, from the fantasy animals Kenneth Jay Lane produced early in his career — the group that made his name. The griffin proved a favorite with his collectors, and Lane reissued the design in several versions over the years; this is the original. It is signed on the reverse with the K.J.L. mark, the oldest mark he used when he first began his own jewelry line. Excellent vintage condition. It measures 2.5 inches wide by 1 7/8 inches tall.
