AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Kenneth Jay Lane (1932–2017) — one of the most influential creators of American costume jewelry. Known for his sense of volume, his spectacular pieces, and his ability to transform simple materials into iconic fashion jewelry, he dressed Jackie Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn, Diana Vreeland and a large part of New York society. By the end of the 1980s, Lane intensely explored the ethnic chic aesthetic, which had become a major trend in international fashion.
Collar signed Kenneth Jay Lane (KJL), composed of a succession of large hammered rings in gold-toned metal. The alternation of interlaced links and their irregular textures creates a play of reliefs and light characteristic of the sculptural style of the KJL house. A bold design creation, inspired by antique jewelry reimagined in a couture spirit.
Materials: gold-toned metal
Length: about 45 cm
Weight: about 140 g
Condition: very good vintage condition.
The package will be shipped via DHL Express.
Seller's Story
Chimay Collection House is a cultural and collecting project from Belgium, where art, history, and investment potential come together.
It was founded in Chimay (ʃi-mɛ, pronounced shee-MEH), a historic principality in Wallonia, Belgium, within an 18th-century home that became a symbol of continuity. Just as stone preserves the passage of time, collections live on, passing from one generation to another.
The project is led by a Belgian diplômé antiquaire with over 15 years of experience. At its core lies histoire de l’art and a philosophy that views collecting both as cultural heritage and as a long-term value.
We have chosen two fields where passion and investment converge:
— Costume Jewelry of the 20th century — collectible pieces, many documented in major reference books and catalogues.
— Collectible Barbie Dolls — iconic editions that reflect fashion, design, and the culture of their time.
Chimay Collection House is not static — it grows and evolves. Its mission is to act as a guide for collectors worldwide, helping them to discover beauty, understand value, and shape the future through collections.
