The best defense is emotional security," says jewelry designer Kenneth Jay Lane, the 42-year-old Detroit man who makes millions translating fakes from the real things. KJL, as he likes to be called, will a a Nicole Weymouth, a 23-year- old London-based beauty who is dressed by Yves St. Laurent-Paris and often photographed in British Vogue as a social clotheshorse.

The upcoming marriage has definitely changed the mood of KJL's 1975 collection which focuses on love and romance. "People are hungry for an open tribute of regard for one another. The three little words, I Love You, are the magic buffers against the enormous pressures of the modern world," says KJL who lives in a five-story Park Ave. townhouse that's periodically pictured in slick fashion and home magazines. The designer is creating old-fashioned pins featuring flowers which are, after all, the glorified language of lovers.

KJL's upcoming collection has a interpretations of rose pins COWBOY BOOTS FRYE ACME JUSTIN IOLSEN HDLTffl 1580 El Osmino San Carlos THE SADDLE SHOP made either from glittery rhinestones or pink tourmaline. He's also created pins that are bunches of violets held together with turquoise ribbons. KJL uses glass that looks like amethyst, sapphires and rubies. "I've forgotten all about the masses of gold and silver chains," about a 1974 look that millions of fashionables adopted as The Look to wear with shirts and sweaters. "Boudoir colors are much more feminine than chains," he says.

What started KJL's flower mania? It took seed a few months ago in Paris where he was overseeing his bustling new Rue Castiglidne boutique which is a sensation with middle-class French elegantes who can't afford real jewels and want what A i a women a When KJL returned to his posh suite at the Ritz Hotel, it was filled with baskets of aromatic tuberoses. A little note, signed by Lady Weymouth, reminded him that love was in bloom. Like a man in love, 1 he ordered a dozen pots of calla lilies delivered to her 17th century London house overlooking the Thames. Lady Weymouth's house, the site of the original palace belonging to Sir Thomas Moore, has an ancient garden in back. "I thought that Nikki could plant the lilies there," he says.

"But the real message was that the feeling was mutual." Calla lilies figure prominently in KJL's new collec- Lane tion. He has taken garlands of lilies and strung them into long, dangly necklaces. Lilies are also featured in Olde English baskets of flowers also featuring many varieties of cabbage roses. KJL says: "I remember seeing the writer, Fannie Hurst, wKh her signature pin an oversized calla lily pin. It was gold and enamel but very, very hollow so that it wasn't heavy.

She wore it year-round with everything. Flower jewelry is espe- cially exciting in winter because it's like wearing a portent of spring. And spring has everything to do with love!" The designer thinks his marriage was "fated." The first sign came a few years ago. He went to a New York gallery to try to buy a Benjamin Constant painting of a bored maharajah lying on a parapet observing a lackadaisical tiger stretched in the sun. The gallery proprietor, who didn't identify the buyer, told a KJL that the painting; had been sold.

"When I first went to visit Nlkki in London, i walked into her elegant Apartment and there was painting!" he Bays. was the person who bought it! It was the first major clue that she had the same tastes." Lady Weymouth collects antique Greek and Roman jewelry and even that hobby has influenced KJL's jewelry. His bride-to-be owns a simple gold bangle bracelet that closes in a classic love knot. She found the ancient piece In an Athena antique shop last summer and: copying that because it's 'very, very contemporary," says KJL. Current plans call for the Lanes to work as a KJL is president of his own corporation with 3,500 store accounts and in a position to hire his wife as a consultant, "She's not of the same generation, 0 he "and that in itself opens up new vistas.

Her tastes are Similar to mine but her ideas and approaches and interpretations are different. Opposition on that level can be very stimulating." KJL has opened a boutique in London. Mrs. David Bruce, whose husband is former American ambassador to Great Britain, staged a get-acquainted party in the embassy. "From that moment on, the English boutique has been a says KJL who plans to commute between London-Paris- Nsw York with his new wife.

Flying one day this week round-trip San Francisco-Los Angeles, and gazing in silent fascination from my "Friendly Skies of United" B-737 window seat I reflected anew upon the grandeur and beauty of the state of California. And, it occurred to me that never in all the years have I written a column singly extolling the virtues of the Golden State! (Where have 1 been all this time?) Dream though one may of seeing the mighty Alps, the majestic deserts of the Middle East or the dramatic waterways of Europe, their counterparts equal at least in magnificence and uniqueness are all to be found within the borders of one of the 50 states: California. The traveler to California, and the fortunate resident of that state as well, may find, without flying or motoring afar, the most resplendent of natural phenomenon, and in stunning variety. The splendor of earth, and its geographical wonders, are to be seen in this most Westerly of States (except for Hawaii and Alaska, the most westerly): vast ocean, curving bay, thread-like straight, turbulent river, placid lake, even glacier and time- leas volcano. Rugged mountain, gentle hill, thick forest, jagged canyon and sweeping valley are part oTnature's creation formed eons ago in that most favored part of the world, the 158,603 square miles known as California.

And, imagine the spectacular sweep of grand variety of landscape to be seen in only 50 minutes of flight between Son Francisco and Los Angeles: cape and basin, peninsula, point and plain, desert, grassland, islet and island. The awesome elements desirable and undesirable from sunshine and fog and snow and ice to smog may not only be experienced within a few hours of each other in California but may be seen, in gorgeous panorama, all at one time from the window of one's plane. (Only seconds airborne out of San Francisco, as our jet pushed higher, higher into the sky, there suddenly below us lay the thick fog through which we had flown into brilliant sunshine, snow glistened atop the Sierra Nevada range to the east; pools of smog were evident as far as the eye could see.) Flying between San Francisco and Los Angeles, over spreading metropolitan areas which meld one into the other, cities and towns along ocean's edge, and villages cozied Into foothills, one is astonished at how large a part of California is still wide open space! The formidable Coastal Range, the Sierra Nevadas in places, Inpenetrabte, the great Mohave Desert (and the northern part of the state, as well, from the fierce Mendoclno County shoreline northeastward to towering Mount Shasta) are forbidding holdouts against the encroachment of civilization. Thus, California's wonders of nature, from Redwood tree to waterfall, would appear safe, for the present at least, from the "progress" of mortals.
