About Monet Jewelry
Have you ever looked at a piece of jewelry, and saw a nice, glittery part that you thought for sure was gold? Well, this is not always the case. Sometimes, it may just look expensive – but in truth, it is only made under a skilled brand. One such example is the Monet jewelry brand. In the world of vintage jewelry, Monet jewelry was made to look high-end and expensive – but without actually bearing the high price. After the war, even with the Great Depression breathing down people’s necks, people still wanted to look their best – to wear the right kinds of accessories that would make them stand out. In response to their desires, Monet often featured faux gemstones such as glass – and rather than going for full gold or silver pieces, they went for the plated type. For all intents and purposes, the resulting piece of jewelry looked like the real deal. In the end, people were able to wear their “expensive” jewelry, but without having to dig too much in their budget for it. However, the final pieces looked very stylish, which is why Monet gained quite a loyal fan base after that. Today, Monet pieces are deeply appreciated as vintage jewelry, collected and worn on a variety of occasions. You may find embellished designs that can go fabulously on a special event, or you may go for a more minimalist piece that you can wear on a daily basis. See less
