A bold statement of vintage-inspired glamour, this signed KJL CN necklace showcases a striking gold-tone medallion adorned with jewel-toned Lucite cabochons in royal blue, coral red, and emerald green. The circular pendant features rich texturing that mimics hand-hammered metal and is finished with five elongated, tapering gold dangles that sway gracefully with movement.
The pendant hangs from a substantial double-link chain with a secure lobster clasp. Both the pendant and chain are signed — the pendant marked ©KJL CN on the reverse and the chain tag marked KJL on one side and CN on the other, confirming authenticity.
This piece embodies Kenneth Jay Lane’s iconic style: bold, opulent, and unapologetically chic. The design is reminiscent of the designer’s late 20th-century revival of Byzantine and Moroccan influences — timeless statement jewelry made to be seen.

Collector’s Note:
This piece includes its original KJL by Kenneth Jay Lane insert card — a beautiful addition for collectors and a mark of authenticity. During the late 1990s through early 2000s, Kenneth Jay Lane collaborated with HSN to offer a curated line of his statement designs under the “KJL” label. These pieces, often bearing the “CN” hallmark, were produced under Lane’s direct creative supervision to maintain his trademark opulence and craftsmanship while expanding accessibility. The result: limited-run jewelry that perfectly captures Lane’s fearless glamour and his enduring title as the King of Faux Jewelry.
