Description

View Monet Brooch White Thermoset Lucite Gold Tone Swirl Signed Vintage 1960s with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. Creamy white thermoset Lucite looks incredible against the polished gold tone. The pin stem and rollover safety clasp are intact and appear to function properly. The reverse has a textured gold-tone finish and is clearly signed © MONET on an applied plaque. This striking signed Monet brooch dates to the 1960s and combines creamy white thermoset Lucite with sweeping polished gold-tone metalwork. Smooth, domed white Lucite elements are arranged in dimensional clusters throughout the design, standing out dramatically against the warm gold-tone setting. Rather than a conventional flower or leaf motif, the brooch is composed of curling, ribbon-like scrolls that weave around the white Lucite clusters. Open spaces between the curves give the piece an airy quality despite its substantial construction, while the combination of crisp white and gleaming gold gives it the polished sophistication associated with Monet jewelry of the period. The reverse has a textured gold-tone finish and is clearly signed © MONET on an applied plaque. The copyright-marked signature is consistent with post-1955 Monet production, while the materials, construction and bold sculptural treatment support a circa 1960s dating. It fastens with a horizontal pin stem and rollover safety clasp. Why You Will Be Obsessed With It Creamy white thermoset Lucite looks incredible against the polished gold tone. The dimensional clustered construction gives the brooch wonderful depth. Sweeping openwork scrolls create movement from every angle. The white and gold palette is sophisticated and exceptionally wearable. Signed Monet gives it instant vintage costume jewelry appeal. It is a fabulous personality piece without needing a single rhinestone. Condition Very good vintage condition with normal age-related surface wear visible on close inspection. The white thermoset Lucite elements present beautifully, with the creamy opaque coloration that gives the design its distinctive appearance. The gold-tone finish remains bright overall with some expected vintage wear and variation, particularly on the reverse. The pin stem and rollover safety clasp are intact and appear to function properly. Please review all photographs closely for the most complete representation of condition. Measurements Approximately 2 inches across, or approximately 5.1 cm, based on the quarter shown for scale. How to Style It The graphic white and gold combination is especially effective against black, navy, chocolate brown or camel. Pin it to the lapel of a structured blazer for a polished vintage look, or use it against cream or winter white for a sophisticated tonal combination. Its dimensional curves also make it a beautiful focal point on a coat, scarf or simple knit.
