    I find lots of modern Monet jewellery, the gold and silver tone modern stuff but I think this piece is a rare beast.
    The Monét stamp was used from 1937. Looking online I can’t find any with this back stamp to compare. Unfortunately the resource doesn’t tell me when they stopped using the mark but this screams Deco!
    I wonder if anyone else has a piece with this early stamp on it? Is that clasp later? :confused: Maybe it is trying to look earlier than it is?
    c 2.5” long.
    Any thoughts welcome.
    Thanks for looking :)

    Looks late deco to me, gives off vibes of Ocean Drive and Studebakers.

    The metal says Industrial Art Deco, but the pin could be early 50s instead of mid-30s, especially with the cobalt stone.

    Hmm, that’s the conundrum isn’t it, true Art Deco or a late to the party wannabee!

    Gut feel is 50s does 20s.

    Hmmmm.....but that sawtooth setting....the patina....the "roughness: un finshed metal"...thinking late 30s. Not seeing ANYTHING like it googling. I think I have a big book on Monet jewelry, not home, will check later.

    20220919_210530.jpg 20220919_205442.jpg Just checked my Monet book and found jewelry similar to yours dated 1937. Congratulations! Notice the slight mark above the e on your piece- this was used in 1937. 20220919_204643.jpg 20220919_204655.jpg 20220919_204648.jpg

    The goldtone jewelry set is not showing back marks. The more detailed script-like Monet with the accent over the e is from a different piece, a fur clip. I do believe you have a 1930s brooch.

    I beg to differ! You are a superstar for taking the time to look and help.
    I will search out that book. I’ve almost completely failed to find examples of early Monet.
    I bought it from a dealer with lots of jewellery who said ‘It’s signed, it’s one of those Monkey ones’ I kept a very straight face and nodded politely :hilarious:

    Laughing my butt off- monkey! So many people here help me, I am only happy to help. And I love a good jewelry mystery! I also have that honking big book on Napier, too.
