KJL jewellery is hard to date at best and dating it by signature can not always get the best results. KJL period is from about 1963 to present date.
My mom said your pin is very pretty.
Looks very simular to pieces you can find in Marcia Brown's Signed Beauties of Costume Jewelry. They retail 100.00-125.00. Dave
