This is a remarkable Fashion in Charms by Monet charm bracelet, featured in Monet: The Master Jewelers by Alice Vega, page 185, under the design name “Chanette” from the 1960s.
The bracelet is a double-link silver-tone Monet chain with the original Monet charms — including a boat, poodle, wishbone with four-leaf clover, two baby shoes, and articulated fish. These original charms exemplify Monet’s high-quality craftsmanship from the golden era of American costume jewelry.
Over the years, additional sterling silver and gemstone charms were beautifully added, giving the bracelet a unique, personalized character:
Buddha – carved chrysoprase gemstone
Totem pole – carved chrysoprase gemstone
Skiing charm – Sun Lakes Sterling
Two dinosaurs – Sterling Bell Trading Post
Indian statue – Sun Lakes Sterling
Money box charm – Danecraft Sterling
Dolphin – Sterling Bell Trading Post
Each charm is full of detail and personality, and the combination of Monet and artisan sterling silver charms makes this bracelet both collectible and wearable.
