There is a great deal of 1950's jewelry featured on Enchantment, so we have selected only those pieces most definitive of the 1950s. The first part of the 1950's jewelry styles were still reflective of the 1940's retro jewelry including pieces with Victorian design elements such as bows. Soon the 1950's developed it's own definitive styles which include multi strand beaded necklaces with much larger beads than seen in the faux pearls in previous years. Lucite thermoset inserts, Confetti Lucite and embedded Lucite jewelry became popular. White jewelry was well-loved, especially for summer. Diamante (clear or crystal) rhinestone jewels, including "prom queen" necklace and earrings sets were chosen for diamond-like sparkle without the price. Modernist jewelry was available and particularly loved by "beatniks." A style similar to Art Deco but not quite modernist also became fashionable--some dealers (including us) call it Art Moderne. This style, like Art Deco of the 20s and 30s, also made it's way into fine art and furnishings, such as the streamlined curved burl "waterfall" bed & dresser sets. And, last but not least, lets never forget multi-strand beaded necklaces with matching button earrings! Almost everyone's Mom or Grandma had at least one--and now it can be yours!
