THE HISTORY OF MONET

In 1929, the Monocraft Products Company of Providence, Rhode Island began producing intricate gold, silver and brass-plated monograms for women's handbags that were famous for their excellent quality and durability. During the Great Depression consumers desired affordable pleasures. And just as Coco Chanel recognized a need for inexpensive but stylish costume jewelry in Paris, Monocraft owners Jay and Michael Chernow started designing and producing quality costume jewelry. Plus, they changed the company name to Monet in 1937.

Monet grew to become a leader in the world of fashion jewelry that reflected its times. In the Fifties, Monet introduced charm bracelets and poodle pins. Its big pendant necklaces, bangles and hoop earrings were popular in the Sixties. Over the years Monet Jewelry has become highly collectible. And pieces are extremely sought after in the collectors' market. Versatile designs that can be worn in different ways have become a Monet signature. Functional design advances have included the Friction Ear Clip, which created more comfortable earrings. And the Barrel Clutch, which offered a more secure pierced earring. Today, Monet is still driven by new innovation in quality and materials.

Through its entire illustrious history, the company has been committed to maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship upon which it was originally founded. This combined with the best materials and refined stylings make Monet a timeless classic that stands above its competitors.
