There are Monet pieces… and then there are Monet statements.
This triple strand beauty is unapologetically substantial — textured gold-tone chain layered with oversized faceted clear and jet-black glass beads, framed in shimmering crystal rondel spacers. It carries weight. It carries presence. It carries that unmistakable mid-century confidence that Monet executed so well.
At over half a pound, this is not delicate jewelry. This is commanding, collector-grade vintage.
And yes — signed Monet.
Description
An exceptional vintage Monet triple strand necklace featuring:
• Three richly textured gold-tone chain strands
• Oversized 13.60 mm faceted glass beads (clear and black)
• Sparkling crystal rhinestone rondel spacers
• Classic Monet fish hook closure
• Signed Monet tag
• Era 1970s - 1980s
The faceting on the glass beads catches light beautifully, giving depth and dimension between the bold gold links. The combination of jet black and crystal-clear glass against warm gold is dramatic yet timeless — equally striking with evening wear or a sharp tailored blazer.
This piece is in excellent vintage condition with no noted issues. The finish is bright, the beads are intact, and the rhinestone rondelles remain brilliant.
Substantial. Luxe. Collectible.

Styling Notes
This is a power necklace.

• Or layered over a high neckline for dramatic contrast
It reads old-money glam with modern edge — especially with the black faceted beads anchoring the look.
Collector’s Note
Monet became known for quality gold-tone finishes and bold mid-century statements that have stood the test of time. Heavier triple strand pieces like this are increasingly harder to source in excellent condition.
This is not a lightweight costume piece. It is a substantial, high-impact Monet example — highly desirable for collectors who appreciate scale and presence.
