The history of the American jewelry brand Enjoux lasted a little more than two decades. Enjoux Inc., located at 355 Park Rd, Southern Pines, North Carolina, was a family business run by Edward Paul. Incorporated in 1980, Enjoux Inc. ceased to exist in 2003.
In fact, there were two more eponymous trademarks owned by Monet (New York) and Crystal Brands, Inc. Noteworthy, Crystal Brands, Inc. produced jewelry for such iconic brands as Monet, Trifari, Sears Roebuck & Co. and JC Penney Co.
Monet, Enjoux Inc., and Crystal Brands, Inc. produced Enjoux jewelry in the 1980s and 90s. Moreover, the jewelry has a similar design and materials – gilded metals, enamels and rhinestones. However, thanks to the markings on the back of these pieces, they can be unmistakably identified. So, Enjoux Inc. jewelry marking included round word “Enjoux”, while Monet’s products had a completely different style. Specifically, the Monet trademark includes black letters “Enjou” with the final “X” highlighted in white. And markings on jewelry include the word “Enjoux” in capital letters on a straight line.
