An extraordinary vintage creation by Kenneth Jay Lane, this magnificent Maharaja-inspired elephant brooch captures the theatrical opulence of Indian royal ornamentation. Crafted in gold-plated metal with ivory-toned enamel, the elephant is adorned with multicoloured jewel-toned crystals, shimmering rhinestones, and delicate dangling faux pearls. Its elaborate headdress, sculptural tusks, and gracefully curled trunk reveal an exceptional attention to detail.
The elephant has long been celebrated as a symbol of wisdom, prosperity, strength, good fortune, and protection. In Indian tradition, its imagery is particularly associated with auspicious beginnings and the revered deity Ganesha.
Kenneth Jay Lane, celebrated for his extravagant costume jewellery and fascination with historical ornamentation, frequently drew inspiration from the treasures of European and Asian royalty. His creations were famously worn by style icons including Jackie Kennedy, Elizabeth Taylor, and Audrey Hepburn.
Both playful and majestic, this collectible brooch embodies the unapologetic glamour that made Kenneth Jay Lane one of the most influential names in twentieth-century costume jewellery.
