AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Monet – Priscilla Adjustable Slide Necklace – 1954
Model Priscilla, presented in Monet's spring 1954 advertising campaign and documented in the work Monet: The Master Jewelers by Alice Vega.
Launched in the early 1950s, the Priscilla model is among Monet's most popular creations. Its success earned it to remain in the house's collections during the 1960s and 1970s.
The necklace consists of several strands of flexible snake chains, joined by a central adjustable slide allowing the length of the necklace and the arrangement of the chains to be modified depending on the neckline.
The central motif combines a polished oval plate with curved elements. The oval surface was specially intended to receive a personalized engraving or a monogram, a feature mentioned in the original advertisement.
A cascade of chains ending in elongated metal drops emphasizes the movement and fluidity of the model.
Model: Priscilla
House: Monet, United States
Material: Silvered metal, snake chains
Maximum adjustable length: 45 cm
Period: 1954
Condition: Very good vintage condition
Seller's Story
Chimay Collection House is a cultural and collecting project from Belgium, where art, history, and investment potential come together.
It was founded in Chimay (ʃi-mɛ), a historic principality in Wallonia, Belgium, within an 18th-century home that became a symbol of continuity. Just as stone preserves the passage of time, collections live on, passing from one generation to another.
The project is led by a Belgian-trained antique dealer with over 15 years of experience. At its core lies art history and a philosophy that views collecting both as cultural heritage and as a long-term value.
We have chosen two fields where passion and investment converge:
— Costume Jewelry of the 20th century — collectible pieces, many documented in major reference books and catalogues.
— Collectible Barbie Dolls — iconic editions that reflect fashion, design, and the culture of their time.
Chimay Collection House is not static — it grows and evolves. Its mission is to act as a guide for collectors worldwide, helping them to discover beauty, understand value, and shape the future through collections.
