Monet jewelry is very popular in the line of classical and elegant fashion. Through the years, having a Monet piece has been the dream of every woman. That is why so many really work hard just to have one. The sad fact is that there are illegitimate companies that produce counterfeit Monet jewelry. Among the pieces that has been copied and faked so many times already is the Monet bracelet. To make sure that you don’t get victimized, here are tips for you to know that the piece you bought is the real thing.

First step is to go grab a magnifying glass and closely inspect your Monet bracelet with it. Genuine pieces still look intact and shiny despite the time that has passed. However, it is perfectly normal to see a little deterioration when it comes to the applique and the plating because after all, the bracelet has been produced long time ago already, thus the tag, vintage.

Next step is to determine the period for which your Monet bracelet could have been produced. Check the collections that were introduced in the different periods of time and compare the design of the piece that you have. If you are not that well versed about this, better ask a jeweler or a collector to do it for you. As they say, you’re better safe than sorry.

You also have to consider the price for which the bracelet has been sold. Check through the net or in established jewelry stores the running price of a real piece. If you got your piece for a much lower price, there is a possibility that it is counterfeit. Just to be sure, better have your bracelet appraised. The appraiser should be a licensed one according to international standards and has an extensive experience on Monet jewelry so that you can fully rely on his work and rest assured that your money didn’t go to waste.
