Vintage Monet Gold-Tone Multi-Color Rhinestone Christmas Tree Brooch

This is a vintage Christmas tree brooch presented in its original Monet-branded red velvet jewelry box with a satin-lined interior lid. The brooch is crafted from a bright, textured gold-tone metal, likely gold-plated base metal, featuring a tiered evergreen design with a star topper. It is intricately detailed with swirling, textured boughs that provide a sense of movement and depth. The tree is embellished with approximately eight multi-colored round faceted rhinestones (or glass cabochons) in shades of ruby red, emerald green, and sapphire blue, which act as ornaments. Physically, the piece measures approximately 2 inches in height. The condition appears to be excellent or 'near mint' vintage, with all stones present and secure, and the gold-tone finish showing high luster with no visible tarnishing or plating loss. The included presentation box shows light shelf wear but retains its structural integrity and clear 'MONET' gold foil branding. Monet is a well-known American costume jewelry brand established in 1937, and based on the design language and packaging, this piece likely dates from the 1970s to the 1990s. The craftsmanship is high-quality for costume jewelry, demonstrating the durable triple-plating technique for which Monet was historically famous.
