Vintage Signed Monet Convertible Silvertone Chatelaine Brooch, 1947

About the Item

Silvertone sweater clip. Marked "Monet." One side detaches and can be worn alone. Dates to 1947. The single piece can be seen on pg 109 of Alice Vega's book "Monet; the Master Jewelers." Measures: 4 inches high by approximately 5 inches wide. Condition: Very good; light surface wear. Early Monet jewelry was produced in the United States and was not mass produced. During the 1960s and 1970s there was more demand than supply, because the company believed in quality over quantity. Monet's jewelry was of such a high caliber that during the 1980s they produced haute couture jewelry for Yves Saint Laurent.

This is a remake of a design which was first advertised in Mademoiselle magazine in 1937. This brooch was featured in a 1959 advertisement. Trifari is an American jewelry company founded in 1925 which sold costume jewelry to the middle to high end market. In 1930, Alfred Philippe, an immigrant from France, joined the company and became its lead designer. Philippe in his previous position in Paris had collaborated with Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, which influenced his designs for Trifari. In the 1930s, Trifari's jewelry was frequently used in Broadway productions. Their designs were also popular in Europe, owned by the Countess of Polignac as well as madame Lanvin's daughter and the director of Lanvin.
