Vintage Monet 60’s Etched Silver Tone Link Bracelet and matching clip earrings

This Vintage Monet 60’s Etched Silver Tone Link Bracelet and matching clip earrings is RARE AND IN MINT CONDITION. Since the famous Monet paddle clips on the earrings still say “pat pend” then these are likely late 50’s to early 60’s. Monet is famous for these comfortable clips. The bracelet is 7.5” in length and still has safety chain attached. Clip on earrings unique as they are lovely measure approximately 1”.

In 1937 the company Monet Jewelers was established. Many of the pieces made during this era were all metal but some designs included enameling, glass cabochons, and/or rhinestones. A dangling metal hang tag reading “Monet Jewelers” was used on necklaces and some bracelets from this era.

Early earrings were made with screw-backs and clip styles patented by others until 1943 when the friction ear clip was invented by Michael Chernow. This style of adjustable springless clip with a grooved paddle-style back was used by Monet from that point forward.

From the mid-1940s...
