About Kenneth Jay Lane
Kenneth Jay Lane
Elegance, luxury and good taste never go out of style, says Kenneth Jay Lane - and he should know. His fabulous costume jewelry has caught the eye of the world's most glamorous women for over four decades. Moreover, Kenneth Jay Lane jewelry pieces are now as sought-after and collectable as precious gems, with vintage pieces selling at Christies and Sotheby's.
Michigan-born Kenneth Jay Lane graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1954 and moved to New York for a stint as a Vogue Art Director. This whet his appetite for fashion, and made him realize that he wanted to design and create the products he saw around him. Shoes were his starting point - he worked on collections for Delman and Christian Dior - and it was whilst working for the latter that he began to embellish shoes with rhinestones and play around with ideas for jewelry. Before long Kenneth Jay Lane collections were being snapped up by hot boutiques across Manhattan, as well as royalty and movie stars, and he was proving that costume jewelry could be as beautiful as the "real thing" .
Fast-forward to today and the Kenneth Jay Lane name has become a by-word for glamour. This season heralds a fabulous collection that is perfect for Fall's love of all oversized jewelry. Shimmering crystal- encrusted bangles add evening glamour to the most simple outfit, or the fabulous gold and black Kenneth Jay Lane necklaces are perfect with Fall's chic black dresses. However you chose to dress with them now, they will be equally wearable in seasons to come; as Lane himself says, "I like to create jewelry that can be worn any time of the year. Glamour is all year round."

This is the ring when you want to make a statement. The color is lovely and it does not take long to get used to the size.

"Kenneth Jay Lane" Medicine Man Pendant is absolutely fabulous. I chose to order the lovely green shade which is stunning. His quality and details are completely what I'd expect from KJL. I also appreciate the fact that he can be worn as a pin. I just might order an addition medicine man in one of the two remaining color choices...that's how much I love this pendant!
Kenneth J. Lane is known for his superb fashion jewelry and this is one necklace that is hard to come by. It is a retro piece that when I wear it, gets noticed all the time. The quality is outstanding and makes a plain turtleneck sweater come alive. This is truly a fun piece of jewelry with an elegant twist!
This is pricey for what is essentially a big piece of plastic on a low-end chain. However, you won't see anything like it on anyone else. Since it is shaped like an arrowhead and hangs long on the body, it's extremely original and cute, cute, cute. I bought it in red and would buy other colors were it not for the price.
This is very cheap looking and it looks like costume jewelry you'd pick up at a teeny bopper store for cheap. Plus, its designed awkwardly so that the stone is ultra heavy and swings the whole piece to the side of the finger. I don't know how you'd even keep this on, if you actually wanted to be seen wearing it.
