This collectible vintage brooch was designed by Kenneth Jay Lane for Jackie Onassis, who famously wore it to a book party in Manhattan in 1991. Crafted out of a brushed satin, gold-plated diamanté star encrusted with large crystal rhinestones. The back features the pin’s hardware, and an additional metal loop allowing it to double as a pendant for a necklace or a choker. Also on the back is the maker’s mark, “KJL”. The original brooch owned by “Jackie O” sold at auction for almost $20k! These are now a permanent part of KJL’s line, but the vintage collection from the ‘90s are few and far between, and harder to find, making this a highly sought-after and desirable work of wearable art history. More than anything, it is a stunning piece of jewelry with a timeless design that evokes the decadence of the art deco era, the whimsy of the atomic era, and the pizzazz of the 1990s!

It is our mission to be 100% transparent and honest about any and all issues found, but all of our items are vintage - which means most of them have been worn, used and may have minor issues. In the event that we have overlooked an issue, it was not because we misrepresented the item, it is because the issue was not apparent enough to demand our attention. We can only apologize for our oversight and hope you can either repair the issue or resell the item but we do not accept returns for items we have photographed and listed online.
