Monet Silvertone Leaf Brooch

This neat brooch is made my Monet and is quite large, measuring over 3 inches wide.  It is done in textured silvertone metal with thin wires making up one side of the leaf design.  "Vintage Monet" usually refers to their jewelry made between 1930 and 1960.  I find some of their designs from the 1970s to be totally cool, and although less rare than older pieces, are well made and still desirable to collectors.  The general guideline for labeling any item "vintage" is 20 years.  So, that means items made in 1991 and older can be sold as vintage and possibly fetch a pretty penny.

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing this piece.  Questions, comments, and additional information are always appreciated.  My online shop on http://www.rubylane.com/ is coming soon.
