Founded as Monocraft in 1929 by brothers Michael and Jay Chernow in Providence, Rhode Island, the company pivoted to costume jewelry and rebranded as Monet in 1937. Responding to the economic constraints of the Great Depression, Monet’s mission was to offer women the look of fine jewelry at an accessible price point, a philosophy that defined its legacy. The brand quickly became a leader in the costume jewelry market, known for its high-quality triple-plated gold and silver-tone metalwork and classic, elegant designs that were durable and timeless.
