Luxe Costume Jewelry

Kenneth Jay Lane Green Crystal Leaf Pin

 

My favorite costume jewelry is Kenneth Jay Lane, both vintage and modern. Kenneth Jay Lane founded his legendary costume jewelry brand in 1963. Known as the "King of Costume Jewelry," he revolutionized fashion by making "faux" desirable and glamorous. His impeccably crafted, bold designs were highly sought after by royalty, First Ladies, and celebrities worldwide.
