They crawled their way into our jewelry boxes last spring, and this year they’re back for more. The costume jewelry guru Kenneth Jay Lane has introduced us to his animal collection with giraffes, monkeys, elephants, and snakes worn as bracelets, necklaces and rings. Brilliant colors scream attention, though many comment that some pieces are borderline gaudy.
In Canada, Kenneth Jay Lane can be found at all Holt Renfrew locations. In the United States, Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue carry the animalistic accessories.
