Vintage Monet White Lucite Abstract Flower Necklace

Add a touch of vintage elegance to your jewelry collection with this stunning gold tone and milk color lucite necklace. The necklace is signed by Monet, a renowned fashion jewelry brand, and features a classic MCM design—abstract flowers. Lucite is a form of acrylic plastic known chemically as polymethyl methacrylate. It has both the light weight of plastic and the hardness and sheen of glass. Lucite was born in 1930s America as a direct consequence of the Great Depression. Monet jewellery is known for its high-end appearance at an affordable price. Signature characteristics include the Monet mark, meticulous gold-plating, and collaborations with renowned designers.After Trifari, Monet was one of the earliest designers to embrace lucite. The necklace is in excellent shape. At 18”, it is longer than a choker of fully extended; however, it can be clipped tighter if desired. I inherited this, so I am not completely certain of its origins, but it is likely from the 1950s.
