Vintage Tiger Black Enamel Rhinestone Clasp Necklace by Kenneth Jay Lane

Vintage Tiger Black Enamel Rhinestone Clasp Necklace by Kenneth Jay Lane


The five-strand necklace is made with five different types of chains, gold-tone rope and open link. The necklace's crowning glory is the Gorgeous Vintage tiger head studded with round chaton cut crystal rhinestones and black enamel. The really fun part is that the tiger opens on the side of his head to reveal the hidden clasp. It measures 2" in length and wide. The necklace itself measures 26" long, not including the gorgeous centrepiece, stamped Kenneth Lane. This opulent piece is in excellent vintage condition. Please note, the clasp exhibits a minor imperfection as shown in the last photo but remains fully functional and secure. The necklace's generous length also allows it to be easily slipped on over the head, enhancing its convenience and wearability. Regal, elegant, and commanding are all adjectives that come to mind when it comes to this offering from Kenneth Jay Lane that is "fit for a queen!"

You have the opportunity to make this vintage treasure yours.
Unless the item is listed as a 'new' item, evidence of normal age/use should be expected. The photos on our listings are never stock photos as we take all of our own photos, so what you see is what you get. Please look over your desired item closely before purchasing.
Now, we mostly sell vintage jewellery and "new old stock" that has never been worn, that come out of various estates. This means that it has been pre-owned. That means that it could have some light wear, and possibly some tarnish. IF there are any flaws, such as missing stones, or damaged stones, we will definitely make that clear in the listing description. We just need our customers to understand that we generally do not sell brand new items.
Our shop has a good working knowledge of vintage jewellery, as most of what we sell has been pre-owned and will thus have some form of wear. Please use common sense when bidding. We cannot possibly cover every detail in a listing, and will thus describe the listings as best as we can. For example, shades of blue are subjective and so are concepts of what looks "too good" to be vintage, or what is "too worn" to be acceptable to a collector, as everyone has their own tastes.
If you have specific needs, do your part, and contact me.
We do not normally clean many of our vintage items as most antique jewellery collectors and enthusiasts prefer that they are kept with the integrity of the piece and patina that occurs naturally over time. This particular piece was gently cleaned with a soft cloth. No harsh chemicals were used to clean this piece.
