Vintage Monet Black Enamel Plaques "Contempora" Collar Necklace, 1972 Ad Piece

About the Item

Goldtone and black wavy enamel plaques (uneven surface helps to reflect the light and make it shine) necklace with fold over clasp. No extra link. Marked "Monet." Interior circumference about 15 inches. Plaques 1 1/4 inches long by 1 1/8 at the widest point. Condition: Very good; some minor wear to metal and some hard to see indents on one plaque. Flaws only noticeable when looking closely. A white version of this necklace was featured in a 1972 advertisement. 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.
