Research info: "Kenneth Lane Jewelry is well known for being large, daring, flashy,
imaginative, and fun. It is also known to be worn by the "rich and
famous" and his "pearls" have been worn by royalty. He has created
unique designs for Jackie Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, Diana Vreeland, and
Audrey Hepburn. He is probably most well known for his three-strand faux
pearl necklace worn by Barbara Bush to her husband's inaugural ball.
Some say that Duchess of Windsor is buried in the jeweled belt he
created for her.
His
pieces are now considered by many as collectable as precious gems, with
vintage pieces selling at Christie's and Sotheby's and Doyle New York." |
