Add timeless sophistication to your collection with this vintage signed KJL (Kenneth Jay Lane) choker necklace — a stunning balance of radiance, texture, and sculptural design.
Crafted in a luxurious gold-tone finish, this piece features an articulated basket-weave link pattern framed by twin rows of brilliant, prong-set clear rhinestones along both inner and outer edges. The result is a luminous, fluid silhouette that glimmers with every movement.
The gold finish remains in exceptional condition with a mirror-like glow, and every crystal is intact, reflecting Lane’s commitment to quality and glamour. The choker secures with a fold-over clasp and bears its original KJL hang tag. A removable 2-inch extender allows you to wear it as a close-fitting collar or a slightly longer neckline for added versatility.
