In 1973, Danes Gerda Lynggaard and Nikolai Monies met at a jewelry school. After graduation, they continued their studies, but in 1973 they felt the strength to found their own brand. Since then, Monies has become a world-famous brand, and its founders have successfully collaborated with Donna Karan, Christian Lacroix and Chanel.

What is the secret of Monies’ popularity? Perhaps the secret of success is in the Scandinavian laconicism and elegance of simple, unpretentious forms? In the unique materials used to make jewelry? Or the fact that design is put at the forefront, not jewelry craftsmanship? It is unlikely that the founders of the Monies brand could answer this question, but it is obvious that they are very talented. Each of their pieces of jewelry arouses genuine interest.

The jewelry uses a variety of natural materials – leather, wood, mammoth tusks, fossils, natural stones, amber, animal horns, shark teeth. The design features ethnic motifs and exotic materials perfectly complement them, making each piece unique.

Monies often feature acrylic elements with silver and gold leaf in their jewelry. Monies makes every effort to ensure that their production does not have a harmful effect on the environment.

The brand releases two jewelry collections annually – Monies Unique (created in a single copy) and a seasonal collection, which includes less expensive, but equally elegant jewelry. Monies jewelry amazes the most demanding audience, who are looking for something new and ready to experiment.
