Earthy Vintage Monet Lucite Bracelet

Monet Jewelry was founded in 1937 by the brothers Jay and A. A. (Albert) Cohen in New York City. Monet became known for its innovative designs and quality craftsmanship, utilizing materials such as gold plating, crystals, and enamel. The brand's pieces often reflected contemporary fashion trends. Lucite, a brand name for a type of acrylic resin, became popular for use in jewelry during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s. It was favored for its ability to be molded into various shapes and colors, allowing for innovative designs. Today, vintage lucite jewelry is still sought after for its unique aesthetic and retro appeal.
