Monet Jewellery History
In 1927Michael & Joseph Chernow started ‘Monocraft’ in New York producing personalised metal initials for car owners. In response to lower cars sales during the Great Depression the brothers shifted to monograming handbags. The jewellery range ‘Monet’ was added in 1937. Through the years the company has been known for their designs which are usually metal base rather than jewels. This look was so popular in the 1980’s that the company acquired the Yves St. Laurent licence for costume jewellery. Over the last 30 years the company has changed hands several times with most notable partnerships with Christian Lacroix & Liz Claiborne.
