Is KJL jewelry real?

1 Answer
Is KJL jewelry real?
KJL jewelry is not real in the sense that pieces produced by the jewelry maker usually don't feature precious metals and genuine gemstones. Kenneth Jay Lane, or KJL, specialized in costume jewelry. As a result, the brand typically made pieces out of less expensive materials, such as glass and brass. The father of so-called “fabulous fakes,” Kenneth Jay Lane was a spirited innovator within the jewelry industry, designing elegant and luxurious pieces without the use of real jewels.
