Found this today. It is LARGE and stunning in person. I found 2 comparables. One here on eBay, sold item # 151817728485. The seller says "MONET BOOK PIECE, ONE OF THE FAMOUS BRITHERS PREMIER HAUTE COUTURE PIECES." I Googled Brithers Premier and found nothing so I am wondering if anyone might know what the seller is talking about or if they know what book this may be in. I found the same necklace on betsy but no mention of books or Brithers.
I am also wondering if this is 80's, 90's or even newer?
Here are some pics. Thanks!

I think that Brithers may be a typo of Brothers.

That is gorgeous PSB! I`d guess it to be 80`s

PSB - I'd agree with Sarah's estimate of 1980's. CCJ 202 (2010 edition) pg 416 has a discussion of Monet pieces at that time (and pic of a set different from yours but similar quality and bold look). Says "in the 1980's Monet manufactured jewewlry for Yves Saint Laurent. At the same time, Monet produced beautiful jewelry sets like the one in the photograph.This set has the same look as the beautiful Yves Saint Laurent jewelry of that time."
