Vintage 1970s Signed Monet Goldtone Fringe Brooch

1970s goldtone fringe brooch with security clasp. Marked "Monet." Measures: 4.25 inches long by 3 inches wide. Excellent condition. Early Monet jewelry was produced in the United States and was not mass produced. During the 1960s and 1970s there was more demand than supply, because the company believed in quality over quantity. Monet's jewelry was of such a high caliber that during the 1980s they produced haute couture jewelry for Yves Saint Laurent.
