Monika Knutsson The official page of Monika Knutsson The Gilded Lace Collection. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, design The pieces are eye-catching and graphic.

Gilded Lace is a lace jewelry collection by designer Monika Knutsson. The jewelry is made from early to mid – 1900’s vintage lace, that is dipped 24k gold, rose gold, sterling silver, or gunmetal. Monika's collection of vintage lace comes mostly from Paris, Berlin and New York. The lace is often hand-made and was used for petticoats, corset covers, and the bottoms of bloomers.

“I want to add value to old, forgotten lace that once was made by very skilled women. It is a way to honor the craftsmanship of the lace makers and to create modern and beautiful pieces that will last for a long time.”

Her inspiration for the designs comes from studying the way lace was fitted on men’s and women’s clothing during the first half of the 20th century. For example, her designs include cuff bracelets, faux-handkerchiefs brooches, and necktie necklaces. To make the jewelry, Monika hand-stitches the lace together to form the shape. The pieces are then dipped in sterling silver, gunmetal, rose gold or 24k gold. There is a limited production of every design.

The Azéline earrings and Leontine choker were made for each other. We discovered this delicate lingerie lace at a Paris flea market. I created the sculptural earrings by gently swirling the lace around a pencil, then preserving its intricate form in 24k gold. The delicate Leontine choker is finished with a lace pendant and an elegant chain that falls at the back. Handmade in New York, each piece carries a little piece of Parisian history. A beautiful pairing for the holidays—or an unforgettable anniversary gift.
