Monet is one of America's most beloved costume jewelry brands, founded in 1929. They were renowned for their exceptional quality gold-tone pieces, and this necklace is a perfect example of their craftsmanship. The chain features flat square/rectangular interlocking links with a subtle wave or flex to them, creating a smooth, ribbon-like drape. This style is sometimes called a "square box chain" or "tile link" necklace. The look is very much in line with Monet's output from the 1970s–1980s, when clean geometric, minimalist chains were hugely popular.

Built with Monet's signature triple-plated gold finish, this bracelet was engineered to withstand the test of time—the layers ensure the lustrous coating stays vibrant and resistant to tarnishing. Whether you're channeling vintage summer vibes or layering with modern pieces, this bracelet delivers understated luxury with lasting appeal.

Add a touch of vintage Hollywood glamour to your wardrobe with this exquisite pair of Art Deco dress clips. These geometric "shield" style clips were the ultimate multi-taskers of the 1930s and 40s, designed to transform any neckline into a statement piece.

Each clip features a shimmering array of pavé-set round and baguette rhinestones, capturing the architectural beauty of the period. Unlike traditional brooches, these clips feature a secure, hinged paddle back with "teeth" designed to slide onto the edge of a garment without piercing the fabric.

Styling Inspiration:
In their heyday, these were worn symmetrically on either side of a square neckline, at the points of a collar, or even clipped to the corners of a pocket or the edge of a hat. Today, they remain a favorite for bridal accents, evening wear, or as unique vintage additions to a modern blazer.

• Era: Late 1930s to early 1940s.
• Motif: Geometric Shield / Triangular Art Deco.
• Stones: High-quality clear chaton (round) and baguette rhinestones.
• Setting: Silver-tone "pot metal" or rhodium plating, typical for high-end costume jewelry of the era.
• Clasp: Hinged paddle clip with prongs for a secure grip on fabric.

• Condition: Good vintage condition; all stones are present, most have original brilliant sparkle.  There is one area on one clip towards the top where a few stones are discolored/dirty - see pictures.

Details

• Convertible design: brooch top with dangling locket charm

• Hinged locket compartment

• Floral cluster motif

• Dimensional layered construction

• Vintage condition with gentle surface wear - I think this piece was two pieces that were put together.  The gold tone on the brooch doesn't full match the tone on the locket.  The brooch attachment loop is welded closed, so the locket is not removable without cutting the loop.
