Kenneth Jay Lane was a designer who built a global business creating beautiful costume jewelry. He came to be regarded as the first American jewelry designer to make it not only acceptable, but chic, to wear fake jewelry as party of a jet-setting lifestyle that was anything but cheap.
Mr. Lane’s customers and friends throughout the years included some of the world’s richest, most publicized and most fashionable women: Jackie O, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Greta Garbo, Nancy Regan, Sarah Jessica Parker and Nicole Kidman.
What started out as a spare time gig in 1962 turned into a global phenomenon. His jewelry is glamours, and each piece proves that costume jewelry can be as beautiful as the real thing.
