Vintage Unsigned Kenneth J Lane KJL Egyptian Revival Victorian Moghul Gold Tone Faux Diamond Rhinestone hotsell & Faux Emerald Cabochon Snake Brooch

For your consideration is a fabulous vintage Egyptian Revival rhinestone snake brooch. The gold tone scale textured serpent is coiled in a loop. The snake head and tail are embellished with the addition of faux diamond rhinestones. The stones are pave set, and further enhanced with the addition of a bezel set emerald green high domed cabochon. Vintage condition with some missing tail stones. Approximately 3 1/4 x 2". Although unsigned, I believe this to be an early Kenneth J. Lane design from the late hotsell 1960's. Can combine with other items in my shop to save on shipping.

Recently an article on the internet stated that brooches are making a big come back in fashion with large design houses like Gucci putting them in their newest collections. I have always loved the beauty of many of my Grandmother's brooches. Brooches are a lovey accessory for many occasions and look great on anything from jean jackets and wool coats to elegant dresses and work blouses. Kate Middleton the Duchess of Cambridge has been wearing beautiful brooches for quite some time and always looks smashing! See the pasted article below...

May 2019 .."The Duchess of Cambridge's wardrobe is always in demand, with royal fashion fans always keen to know where her latest dress is from - or her shoes, or her handbag… need we go on? But there's one crucial part of Kate's accessory collection that is particularly significant in her role as a royal lady – her stash of sparkling brooches, which are worn for particularly special occasions, or to pay homage to certain organizations or causes. Of course, the Queen, the Duchess of Cornwall and many other senior royal women also own a number of beautiful pins, and women in the family have passed down countless pieces from throughout history – so they all have an incredible story behind them! Today, every designer from Gucci to new royal favourite Alessandra Rich are bringing out their own pin-on bling – not forgetting the classic Chanel brooch of course – so in fact, we could all take heed of Kate's penchant for pins."
