Vintage Monet Braided Gold Plated Rope Brooch, 1960s
Beautiful vintage Monet braided rope brooch from the 1960s, featuring a bold round design with textured gold plated ropework arranged in an intricate interwoven pattern. This sculptural style is characteristic of Monet’s mid‑1960s collections, and a similar piece from the 1966 line is documented in Alice Vega’s Monet: The Master Jewelers.
The brooch is generously sized at 2¼ inches in diameter, creating a striking statement while remaining elegant and wearable. The gold‑tone finish is bright and even, and the braided construction gives the piece depth, dimension, and a refined mid‑century presence. The brooch is triple plated in 22k gold, a hallmark of Monet’s premium mid‑century work. Signed Monet on the reverse and in excellent vintage condition.
Excellent vintage condition with bright gold plated, clean surface, and secure pin mechanism.
