The company was founded as Monocraft by brothers Michael and Joseph Chernow, who had emigrated to the United States from Lithuania in the early 1900s. The name "Monet" was chosen to evoke the glamour and sophistication of the famous French Impressionist painter. During the 1930s and 1940s, Monet produced a wide range of jewellery, from simple and elegant pieces to more ornate designs that were perfect for special occasions. The brand's reputation for quality craftsmanship and affordable prices quickly made it a favourite of fashion-conscious women across America.

The company also embraced new materials and production techniques, incorporating enamel, rhinestones, and other materials into its designs.
