Casual Coral LONG Necklace

I wrapped it 3 times in order to get it all in the photo. Rich goldtone chain and coral chips. Erina said, "Hi Jane thank you I loved my coral necklace. Thanks again" She also got the matching hoop earrings. KJL coral chips long necklace, $77.99. Matching hoop earrings, $36.99.
Marella Agnelli Necklace
Marella Agnelli, married to Gianni Agnelli 1954-2003, loved her Kenneth Jay Lane necklaces which she wore in multiples attached via the golden twist-clasp. I think she wears four (or six?) of the necklaces in the photo. The design reminds me of ruby, emerald and pearl precious stone necklaces treasured by wealthy women in India. If you're interested email me for prices and availability. The image on the right shows two of the necklaces together.
I heard Signora Agnelli is out of sorts that KJL added this lovely piece to his couture line. Her late husband Gianni, was an Italian industrialist and principal shareholder of Fiat. As the head of Fiat, he oversaw 4.4% of Italy's GNP, 3.1% of its industrial workforce, and 16.5% of its industrial investments in research. Nicknamed l'Avvocato (the lawyer) because he graduated in law (though he was never admitted to the Order of Lawyers), Agnelli represented the most important figure in Italian economy, the symbol of capitalism during all the second half of 20th century, and regarded by many as the true "king of Italy".
A cultivated man of keen intelligence and a peculiar sense of humour, he was perhaps the most famous Italian abroad, forming deep relationships with international bankers and politicians (some of them became close friends, like Henry Kissinger). He was considered by some to be an elegant man. Wonder what he would have thought about the Fiat-Chrysler merger? He left his extraordary paintings to the town of Turin in 2002. Agnelli didn't allow his November 19, 1953 marriage to Marella Caracciolo - a half-American, half-Neapolitan aristocrat who made a small but significant name as a furniture designer - from having affairs with socialite Pamela Harriman, film star Anita Ekberg, among numerous other ladies (his pals included Rita Hayworth and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, although there is no proof he was intimate with them.) Agnelli and Marella remained married until his death. 20" length, one necklace $349.99. Two necklaces $629.99 SAVE!.

VINTAGE Kenneth Jay Lane Floral Pendant IN STOCK
I was able to purchase this pendant in 1998 when I was at the KJL showroom, and saw it sitting on a table. It was the last one, and more would not be made. (Don't ask why a style is discontinued, maybe the center pearl was no longer available ...) It's truly one of a kind, two inches across, centered with a huge "south sea" 14mm pearl, and has a 3/4" bail large enough to accommodate any chain or cord. (The ribbon in the photo is not included.) If this was on Ebay it would be going for twice as much! Vintage KJL pendant, $299.00.

Pearls in Memory of Audrey Hepburn
Hi Jane,
I wore the KJL Auddrey necklace and it was GORGEOUS! I'd like to know if you have any more available in stock that i can order. Thank you, Mandy
Kenneth knew Audrey Hepburn, the charming star of Breakfast at Tiffany's, and you can tell by this design that he greatly admired her.
This neck ornament
he designed in her memory features 5 rows of large knotted pearls fastened by an outrageously sparkling diamante floral decoration.
Each of the 5 pearl strands graduates in length so that the necklace always fits perfectly with no buckling, ruffling, or
"rollover". The crystal centerpiece, a complex interweaving of curved and petal shapes, seems to resemble a peony
in full flower. It is 2.5 inches in diameter, and is far more brilliant, breathtaking, and
diamond-like than I can capture in the photo. The shortest pearl strand is 16 inches. This is a unique, once in a lifetime
heirloom that will change the way others think of you! Featured in InStyle August 2008 p. 155. I'm almost embarrassed to
publish the photo of Jennifer Love Hewitt trying to channel Audrey, but at least her necklace is divine! KJL "Audrey" necklace, $489.99.
Your Wild Leopard Necklace
"Jane, the box of goodies arrived safely on the 10th. I was so excited that I opened it and found the pendant, popped it on and rushed out the door to an appointment, then sat in the waiting room admiring its lovely details. Thanks so very much for all of your care and personal attention." --Rhea in Canada
Realistic, mysterious leopard pendant caught in a crystal belt, with ruby eyes and jet black
spots on a rich goldtone repousse surface. Also comes in pristine white with black. Who says you can't change the
leopard's spots? Specify the color you want when you order. The chain is one of KJL's best, 32 inches of luxe braided gold.
The leopard is about 3 inches so the total length is 35 inches. Capture your own leopard and think about the
beauty of the living wild ones. The 18th-century gentleman wears a sheep caught in the same pose, perhaps
inspiration for KJL? KJL leopard necklace, $129.99.
Thanks, Jane. The Leopard Necklace is wonderful. --Brenda S.

Pearl Madness
Queen Elizabeth I was pearl-crazy. Some think she did away with Mary in order to get her hands on Mary's pearls. Audrey Hepburn was crazy about pearls too. Of all the gemstones, pearls have retained more appeal and value down through the centuries. Cleopatra dissolved valuable pearls in wine and then drank them, she did this to prove to Mark Anthony what a high-maintenance gal she was! After Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton got together the first time, he bought La Peregrina for her, a "pearl of great price".
Gold Pendant Antique Inca Find--NOT FOR SALE
This is a priceless gold pendant from a Peruvian dig, it was made ca. 900-1100 A.D. and comes from the Sican culture which was older than the Inca civilization. It is about 5" square. We are showing it because KJL was inspired by it or something like it to create his Peruvian sculpture. We don't own it. It is in a museum along with thousands of other artifacts discovered in a burial site near Lima, Peru. For further information, see Scientific American April 1994.
Gold Pendant by Kenneth Jay Lane IN STOCK
Here is a one of a kind primitive style pendant created by KJL in the 1980s. It is 3-dimensional; you can add it to a scarf, a strand of beads, silk cord, etc. I show it with a silk organza scarf drawn through the loop at the top. The expression on his face is amazing. I would also use spiny oyster or variscite beads as a accompaniment since they have the wonderful "rough" cut look you want to balance the complexity and interest of this pendant. Size is about 2" square, with several loops at the bottom to add dangles. KJL primitive pendant, $315.00.
Minimalism is DEAD!
The idea of Zen minimalism is dead, Giunta said. We need so many things to function in our daily lives that to carry on that idea in fashion with a disregard for all the extras is kind of a dying battle. Sure, you can have yoga, but it’s just one part of your day, it’s not your whole mentality.Mr. Lane agreed. I didn’t like minimalism, he said. I said on QVC once in those days, How can we have minimalism?
Girls can’t eat, they can’t smoke, they have to have safe sex and minimalism all at the same time? Where is the fun?
Jewelry should be fun. That’s really the idea of jewelry, not only for fashion and a look—it’s an amusement for women.
Even the stuffiest European houses seem to agree: For spring 2009, Prada, Louis Vuitton and Balenciaga boldly over-accessorized
their collections with colorful faux gemstones and plastics.
When I was young, women wore hats, said Mr. Lane, who is 78. They wore gloves, they wore combs with little flowers in their hair, all that sort of thing, and they enjoyed doing it. I’m not talking about only the most fashionable women, you know—secretaries, et cetera! Today, it’s all sort of pared down, and really the most amusing accessory they can put on is jewelry. And shoes. Women love shoes, as you know.
But could it be, mercifully, that jewelry is at last replacing shoes as the accessory du jour? As the introduction to Mr. Lane’s book, Faking It, puts it: Faux jewelry is like wearing glass slippers. A woman can feel like she’s going to the ball, even if she’s not.

Kenneth Jay Lane Elegance from the 17th Century French
 |
 |
| A stunning design by Kenneth from a 17th Century French model by Gilles L'Egare, jeweller to royalty. During the 16th to 18th Centuries, jewelry took on secular importance and moved out of the Church and into the ballroom. The original model for this design shown above is in a jewelry sketchbook published by Gilles L'Egare in Paris around 1663. The centerpiece of the necklace measures 3.5" x 2.5" and is lavishly inlaid with brilliant rhinestones in a feminine floral arrangement. The clip eardrops appear delicate and are very lightweight, about 1.25" high. The central ornament of the necklace is held by 4 rows of faceted jet glass fire polish beads ending in a brilliant 5-crystal bar. The necklace is adjustable from 12" to 16". Every detail of this set is exquisitely finished. Call if you want to order. Also available with pearls instead of jet beads. KJL French necklace, $299.00 (allow at least 10 weeks). Matching pair of earclips, $79.99. |
