A derivative line within the Kenneth Jay Lane brand family, launched in 2009 in partnership with Jardin Jewelry and specializing in cubic zirconia. In the official description, it is positioned as a dedicated collection that uses cubic zirconia to offer an appearance closer to fine jewelry, in contrast to the main line, which traditionally centers on crystal, pearl, and enamel. It has an independent official sales website and is also carried by major department stores and specialty retailers under the brand name “CZ by Kenneth Jay Lane”; it therefore constitutes a diffusion line that extends the parent brand’s designs to a broader price range and distribution network, rather than merely a product category.
