Absolutely stunning lariat style necklace by Monet features a shiny, silver plated finish accented with bezel-set light blue and rose colored rhinestones. The overall (adjustable) length is 34 inches; the drop on the lariat is 6 inches. The lariat is fixed.
Signed on reverse "Monet" with the copyright symbol. This is in very fine condition.
This is from the 1981 Collection Concepts, a separate line of gold and silver plated jewelry accented offers with jeweled-tones stones. The line was sold only to upscale department stores and was geared to the woman who wanted jewelry with that "million dollar look." Prices ranged from $25 to $125. Monet's attention to detail included the packaging of Collection Concepts. Set against a cream colored velvet, the "upscale look" jewelry was packaged in black faille pouches which came in an elegant black gift box accented with the Monet logo.
This necklace is featured on page 246 of Alice Vega's book on Monet jewelry (Schiffer, 2011.)
