Rare Vintage Kenneth Jay Lane Couture Heart Necklace – Sculptural Purple Druzy, Gold Open Link Chain, Signed | Private Collection

A stunning couture-era statement from Kenneth Jay Lane, featuring an oversized sculptural heart pendant with a glittering purple druzy-style cabochon that evokes raw amethyst crystal. The dramatic heart is set in textured molten gold-tone metal and suspended from a bold open-link chain — unapologetically glamorous and unmistakably KJL.

A true “runway jewel,” this piece represents Lane’s most audacious design language from the late 1970s–1980s — bold scale, luxury presence, and couture attitude.
