Frederick Mosell started the Frederick Mosell Jewelry Co. NY in 1940 when he migrated to the USA from his home in Paris.
He started out with novelty jewelry pieces and soon was producing elegant design pieces. He only worked for a short time in New York, and is best know for his sophisticated designs that are reminiscent of elegant Egyptian revival.
Some vintage gold plated necklaces, brooches and earrings of starfish, ferns, and leaves (to name a few) had small to large rhinestones and cabochons in their fine detail work, and were very elegant, and suitable for either wearing with the evening dress or casual outfits.Mosell jewelry stopped production in 1980.
Jewelry pieces by Mosell are very hard to find and are quoted in jewelry guides as "very hot" and most wanted umong vintage jewelry collectors.
Monet originally was founded in Providence, RI in 1929 by two brothers, Michael and Jay Chernow and the business name was Monocraft. “Monet “ company started in 1937 as an offshot of a company that produced metal art deco monograms for purses. The business expanded and the company became recognized as a manufacturer of durable and quality initials.
The goal of Monet was to create elegant yet affordable women's jewelry. To add that special touch to their line Monet was the first costume design house to stamp their trade name into every piece of jewelry.
Monet was acquired by General Mills in 1968 and in 1977 they introduced a new line of jewelry called CIANI.The firm was then purchased by Crystal Brands Jewelry in 1989 and is still in operation.
Monet has remained popular since then and is sold in just about every department store in the USA and Canada.
