This versatile Kenneth Jay Lane piece serves as both a brooch and an enhancer pendant, offering flexibility in styling options. It can be worn as a stunning brooch to adorn clothing, scarves or accessories, or as an enhancer pendant on a chain for a more traditional necklace look. It features an intricate coral reef design that is meticulously crafted to resemble the natural beauty of underwater ecosystems. The delicate detailing of the coral branches adds depth and dimension to the piece.

For more than half a century, the Kenneth Jay Lane jewelry line has been at the forefront of the very trends that Kenneth Jay Lane himself pioneered. A true innovator of the “Fabulous Fakes” that to this day still convince women around the world to leave their real jewels at home. As impressive as it is that royals, celebrities and socialites continue to choose Kenneth Jay Lane as some of their favorite wears, it was never Lane’s primary focus. In fact, his designs were - and still are - created with the everyday woman in mind. As Mr. Lane has said, "Elegance, luxury and good taste never go out of style."

Created or Simulated Gemstones: How are created or simulated gemstones different from natural gemstones? Natural gems are created by the forces of nature and must be discovered, usually by digging in the ground or sifting through a riverbed. When these stones are created in a laboratory, they are called created, simulated or synthetic gemstones.

The purpose of creating gemstones in a laboratory isn’t necessarily to reduce the cost, but also to produce larger, more perfectly consistent stones. Created or simulated gems can be made of any material. Synthetic gems, however, share virtually all chemical, optical and physical characteristics of their natural mineral counterparts.

Austrian Crystals: These are known for their excellent reflective quality and prismatic brilliance. This man-made crystal is created using natural minerals and quartz sand, which are then heated and slowly cooled using a process similar to that of creating hand-blown glass. This process creates an end product that can be fashioned into a beautiful crystal.

A special machine is used to create a highly faceted crystal. The crystals are cut in various directions, which allows for excellent light refraction, exceptional brilliance and unsurpassed color quality at an affordable price.

Today Swarovski® is one of the largest suppliers of high-end crystals. In the late 1800s, Daniel Swarovski invented a machine to cut crystal with extreme precision. He patented his technique and to this day, only select Swarovski family members and employees have unrestricted access to the production facility that creates these crystals. They are used to decorate everything from stilettos and sculptures, to chandeliers, jewelry and clothing.
