Monet Pin - 80's
**ALL VINTAGE ITEMS ARE FINAL SALE**
Costume jewelry emulates high-end jewelry that won't break the bank and gives you that same statement piece to make any outfit pop. Monet Jewelry was the industry leader in making costume jewelry for the masses. Originally starting out as a company that made handbags with gold-plated appliques, Monet Jewelry began during the economic depression of the later 1920's and became known for manufacturing jewelry pieces in the mid 1930's with their trademark on them, paving the way for iconic brands such as Gucci and Louis Vuitton to do the same.
