The Moon Oracle | Vintage Kenneth Jay Lane Sculptural Pendant Necklace
$255.00
70's
Why We Love It
A wonderfully theatrical Kenneth Jay Lane necklace that transforms bold costume jewelry into wearable sculpture. Smooth opaque white beads form a luminous strand, punctuated by ornate gold-tone caps and spacers before meeting an extraordinary oversized pendant.
The pendant resembles an abstract celestial figure or ceremonial mask, with sweeping crescent-shaped contours, richly textured surfaces, raised circular details, and articulated bead drops that move gently with the wearer. Its combination of brilliant white and antiqued gold gives the piece a striking presence—part ancient artifact, part modernist fantasy.
This is Kenneth Jay Lane at his most imaginative: glamorous, playful, and entirely unforgettable. Worn over black, jewel tones, or a simple white blouse, it needs little accompaniment.

For Its Next Keeper
This is not a necklace that simply completes an outfit—it becomes the story. Its mysterious form feels discovered rather than designed, like a small piece of imagined antiquity waiting to begin a new chapter.
