The American costume jeweller Kenneth Jay Lane was born in 1930. He studied at the Rhode Island School of Design. During the early stages of his career he designed shoes for the stores Delman and Christian Dior. He later started creating a new range of designer costume jewellery selling under his own name. As the costume jewellery designer s career in creating fabulous pieces of jewellery heightened, he became the favourite designer of many of the American social elite during the 1960 s including celebrities such as Elizabeth Taylor, Diana Vreeland, and Audrey Hepburn.
Kenneth Jay Lane s replica of Audrey Hepburn five strand pearl necklace is perhaps one of his most famous and extravagant pieces. This gorgeous statement necklace was designed in her memory; it features five rows of large knotted glass faux-pearls and is fastened by an outstanding crystal floral decoration. This replica created by Kenneth Jay Lane was featured and worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany s; this necklace is favoured by many brides to be to wear at their weddings, and is a great bridal piece. Another lady that admired Kenneth Jay Lane jewellery was the Barbara Bush (the wife of the 41st President of the United States George H. W. Bush) as demonstrated when she wore the Kenneth Jay Lane three-strand faux pearl necklace to her husband's inaugural ball. The Triple strand pearl necklace is graduated in length to sit on the collar and the clasp is studded with sparkling Swarovski crystal gems. This pearl necklace was a vital piece for the Barbara Bush s signature style.
His gorgeous statement pieces of jewellery are still favoured by current celebrities. His jewellery has been pictured on many of the rich and glamorous socialites, actresses, and musicians in America. Sarah Jessica Parker has been pictured wearing his fabulous creations including the giant oversized gold butterfly necklace when she starred in the TV series; Sex and the City as Carrie Bradshaw.
