“Acclaimed by Time magazine as “the undisputed King of Costume Jewelry” and called “one of the three great costume jewelers of the twentieth century” by Women’s Wear Daily, Kenneth Jay Lane transformed a previously undistinguished field into the height of fashion. “I believe that every woman has the right to be glamorous and have always believed that a woman can be just as glamorous in costume jewelry as million-dollar bangles and beads,” Lane has said. “Style has little to do with money and expensive possessions; attitude and flair make all the difference.”
