Black and Gold Beaded Chain

by Kenneth Jay Lane

They say to fake it till you make it. And you’ll be doing just that in this sleek necklace from KJL. None will be the wiser that these glass beads aren’t fancy pearls.

There’s no way to perfectly nail down the jewelry of Kenneth Jay Lane- all we can say is that the designer is well known to be the King of Costume Jewelry. Lauded in the industry as a pioneer of “faking it”, his loyal followers have included Audrey Hepburn, Jackie O, and Sarah Jessica Parker. We love his enamel and animal motifs in particular, but wearing any of his designs always makes us smile.
