The Story
Jenny and Lily Monbouquette are a mother-daughter team with a shared passion for innovative design and bold self-expression. After 30 years as an art advisor, Jenny began designing jewelry for fun in 2014. She soon tapped Lily’s expertise in fashion, giving them a reason to connect and collaborate while living 3,000 miles apart, Jenny in LA, and Lily in New York. Five years later, Monbouquette is a full-fledged collection, designed in LA, produced in the US, and quickly gaining acclaim from editors, celebrities and women nationwide who are dazzled by their one-of-a-kind designs.
Jenny and Lily believe that jewelry should be personal, playful and effortless. Each piece has a functional twist: an element that moves, a hidden compartment, or a mechanism that transforms a piece, creating multiple ways to wear it. This duality in their designs started with their first pieces, the patented Drop and Hatch earrings, made with ethically mined 23.5 karat yellow gold, recycled yellow brass, and recycled sterling silver. Monbouquette has been featured in publications like Vogue, WhoWhatWear, ELLE, W Magazine, and Harper’s Bazaar to name a few, and on celebrities including Kate Hudson, Issa Rae, Camila Cabello, Gwen Stefani, and Stephanie Hsu.
