This Kenneth Jay Lane necklace with a massive blue pendant decorated with an ornate gold-tone clasp is a very expressive example of the designer's 1960s-1970s creative period. Based on the marking (©KENNETH LANE) and the type of clasp, it can be said that it corresponds to the late mid-20th century.
