Necklace with a tusk motif – extremely rare (stands out due to its size) and visually very striking (combination of black and gold). The hand-shaped and gilded, finely ornamented upper part of the pendant is not a serial, but an “art lab-style” piece. This Kenneth Lane necklace has an early marking “ © KENNETH LANE” , visually striking and rare design, good condition (minimal oxidation, neat elements). Similar necklaces are extremely rare in vintage stores or auctions, especially with a black tusk motif and such marking. This Kenneth Lane necklace is considered rare, especially due to the early marking, unusual design and artistic finish, which is why it has a collectible value. Collectors are actively looking for early Kenneth Lane pieces, especially with the © KENNETH LANE mark and non-standard design.
