The Only Fake Friend You Should Have

They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but costume jewelry designer Kenneth Jay Lane shows otherwise. For decades, Lane has bedazzled the world with his stunning jewelry designs, outfitting icons from Jackie O to Diana Vreeland. According to him, the Duchess of Windsor is buried in a jeweled belt that he designed. Take an exclusive and up close look at the work of a fashion industry staple during the Norton Museum of Art’s upcoming exhibition “Fabulous Fakes: Jewelry by Kenneth Jay Lane,” opening Thursday, February 3. The on display collection will showcase around one hundred of Lane’s notorious, costume-jeweled creations, including a copy of the Van Cleef and Arpels necklace Aristotle Onassis gave his new American wife as a wedding present in 1968 and a flamingo broach inspired by the Duchess of Windsor’s 1940 original by Cartier. The exhibit runs until May 1st, 2011.
