This parure is in excellent vintage condition and measures necklace 15" - bracelet 7"L - earrings 1.5"L. Just beautiful, quality jewelry ! Makes a great gift ! I take the time to clean each piece of jewelry that are presented and polish them to bring back their original luster. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to convo me :) MONET originally was founded in Providence, RI in 1929 by two brothers, Michael and Jay Chernow and the business name was Monocraft. Monocraft produced gold plated monograms which were set on handbags in the store at the time of purchase. The business expanded and the company became recognized as a manufacturer of durable and quality initials. The Chernow brothers, capitalizing on this advantage, began manufacturing jewelry under the name Monet around 1937. Much of the 1940's jewelry used silver as the base metal. Monet was also responsible for several technological advancements in jewelry, such as the development of the friction ear clip which adjusted so it could firmly fit the ear with out causing undue and painful pressure; and the barrel clutch for pierced earrings which replaced the butterfly clutch. These earrings stated above, I'm familiar with. I call them screwback clipbacks...because the clip can be adjusted by turning the knob to tighten or loosen. In the late 1940's to early 1950's necklace had an average price of about $12.00 to 20.00 while earrings could be purchased between 4.00 and 7.50. Monet was acquired by General Mills in 1968 and in 1977 they introduced a new line of jewelry called CIANI, with some pieces priced as high as $500! The firm was then purchased by Crystal Brands Jewelry in 1989 and is still in operation. Your major departments stores still carry Monet. (#144)
