Neil Lane is celebrated for his dazzling jewels worn by celebrities and his iconic engagement rings featured on ABC’s The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. Lane also holds one of the nation’s most significant private jewelry collections, which spans nearly a century—from the 1840s to the 1940s—and comprises more than 200 pieces. It recently appeared in the exhibition “Radiance & Reverie: Jewels from the Collection of Neil Lane” at the Toledo Museum of Art. 

Join an illustrated conversation between Lane and Emily Stoehrer, Rita J. Kaplan and Susan B. Kaplan Senior Curator of Jewelry and cocurator of “Radiance & Reverie,” for a captivating look into Lane’s lifelong journey through the world of historic jewelry.
