Description: Description Kenneth Jay Lane began his extraordinary career back in the early 1960's, and continues to provide the world with his remarkable costume jewelry even now. Often, he takes his original pieces from those days and re-issues them. The new pieces are sometimes identical to the original, but often he makes subtle changes; he'll keep the design elements, but change the stones and color themes. This is the case with the bracelet I offer here. I have included a scan from the Kenneth Jay Lane memoirs entitled "Faking It" (seen in the final photo above), which shows the original dragon bracelet, because I thought that you might enjoy the historical significance. The bracelet that I offer is very similar. This is a double-headed Chinese dragon bangle bracelet. The significant difference between this piece and the original is primarily in the finish of the band. It's done in a bright brilliant emerald green, sheer translucent enamel, and because the enamel is sheer, it allows you to see the scales of the dragon which are worked into the 22k yellow gold electroplate base below. There are evenly spaced stations which are overlaid, each of which contains clear Swarovski crystals. The heads of the dragon are encrusted with more pave clear Swarovski crystals, and there are even crystals inside their nostrils. The eyes are done in ruby red cabochon stones which are brighter red than the photos depict; the mouths are open, and their bared fangs are bright white enamel. And finally, entirely surrounding the lower edge of their mouths are beautiful faux turquoise cabochons. This bangle bracelet opens by way of a beautiful golden coiled spring which will hold the piece tightly and securely on your wrist. Signed, brand new, and SO dramatic. USA made. The red KJL box as seen in the first 4 photos is a prop, and is not included. The bracelet will, however, be delivered and wrapped in a new gift box Note: this bracelet is also a "Book Piece", and can be found in Nancy Schiffer's publication "Fabulous" where it can be seen on page 126.
