Monet Slide Bolo Lariat Ball Dangle Flat Chain Necklace

Monet's slides from the '50s and '60s, immensely popular in their day, have reemerged and enjoy a well deserved renaissance. Whereas many costume jewelers of the era promoted the rule of the rhinestone (and, of course we do love our bling) Monet focused on creating some of the most outstanding metalwork of the day. Everything was beautifully executed from casting to the finishing. It is perhaps why many Monet pieces continue to present as new.

The slide / bolo presented, circa 1960s, features lustrous flat metal chains with an oval shiny slide. Asymmetrical ends dangle with finely filigreed caps, textured balls and shiny silvery spears. The necklace secures via shiny end bars and fold over clasp.

Slide necklaces are difficult to measure since they adjust to multiple lengths. One side drops to approximately 13 inches; the other, 12 inches. Chain is about 1/8 inches wide; slide, 5/8 inch wide and balls, about 13 millimeters. Weight of the necklace is 49. grams.

Condition is near pristine vintage. There are absolutely no issues. All silver tone finishes intact. No rubs, scratches, stains, dents, kinks or improper bends. Slide works as intended. Smooth but not loose. Fold over clasp secure. Finishes are superb. Clean. No damage / no repairs. Near pristine vintage.

The reverse of clasp is signed: "MONET" followed by copyright symbol. Circa 1960s.

Enjoy the ride with the slide. From mid-century Monet. At Cody's.
