Kenneth Jay Lane Jewelry Exhibition: Fabulous Fakes August 7, 2009

Over the last fifty years Kenneth Jay Lane (b. 1932) has been the single most creative and prolific American master of costume jewelry. Although fabulous fakes, they are so highly esteemed that they have become sought after collectibles, with many vintage pieces selling at top auction houses such as Sotheby's and Christie's. The exhibition, the largest retrospective to date, with over 350 jewels, is curated by Henry B. Joyce, Executive Director of Planting Fields Foundation and includes many of Mr. Lane's most popular and exceptional designs. Ticket price includes admission to The Manor House and Coe Hall's first floor.
