Kenneth Jay Lane KJL Chinese Modern Faux Double Coin Disc Necklace 1970s

About the Item

Double Chinese faux coin necklace designed by Kenneth Lane, circa 1960s / 1970s. A 6" long gold colored metal pendant suspends from a 20" chain, signed Kenneth Lane. In very good vintage 70s condition showing normal wear conducive with age. The following was taken from the Kenneth Lane website with thanks: Not only do you see the likes of contemporary icons such as Rhianna, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, and Katy Perry (just to name a few) dazzling in Kenneth’s designs, but modern history’s most notable fashionistas have gravitated towards Kenneth Jay Lane since the label’s inception in 1962. Pop culture icons like Jackie Onassis Kennedy, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, and even Princesses Diana and Maragret chose to wear “Kennys”, making the brand internationally sought after - and for good reason. As Mr. Lane had said, “Elegance, luxury, and good taste never go out of style.” Undoubtedly, Lane knew best. As a graduate from the Rhode Island School of Design (Class of 1954), who moved to New York for a brief stint at Vogue’s art department; he found himself designing shoes for the likes of Christian Dior, amongst others, all while quietly conceiving ideas for jewelry in his spare time. He bore a love for bold yet eloquent creations, often choosing unusual color combinations and shapes for his prototypes. Still, as impressive as it is that royals, celebrities, and socialites continue to choose Kenneth Jay Lane as some of their favorite wears, it was never Lane’s primary focus. In fact, his designs were, and still are, created with the everyday woman in mind.
