I still have his inaugural pearls and matching bracelets and wear them often. I believe that's all I have, not sure.

About 6 months ago I wondered if he was still alive and "googled" him to learn that he was.  He was in such poor physical condition during his last Q visits, he could hardly breathe.  I supposed it was emphasemia, and that was years ago. 

He made fashion jewelry "fashionable" and in doing so made a huge contribution to the industry.  I wonder if his line will continue?  I'm sure there was a large staff of designers in his later years.  He will be missed.

Sad news.  I have a number of his pieces, which I wear often and enjoy.  He was a genius at making costume jewelry look expensive.  I seem to recall that there was a younger man who represented him often, and I think I read that he passed away earlier.  Quite a loss.

Aw, I'm sorry to read this.  I actually am wearing one of his pieces today...an enameled fish bracelet.  I got it years ago, and still love it.  May be rest in peace.

KJL was a pioneer in fashion jewelry.  so many people wore his designes including THE Mrs. Simpson.

I admired his taste, knowledge and sense of humor.  I have his Zebra bangle and wear it very carefully because I love it so much.

So sad, sending Peace and Admiration for him.
