" Affordable costume jewelry online from designer costume jewelry to antique and vintage "
Here you
will find jewelry from the
1970's and 1980's.
Jewelry worn during
this period was BIG and there was a back to Nature trend as well
as metal sculptures and novelty jewelry. During the later half of
the 1970's there was an influx of red, white and blue jewelry due
to the Bicentennial in 1976. Avon and Sarah Coventry were still
very popular as was a revamp of the Deco look. During the 1980's
there was a Vintage explosion and jewelry made from various plastics.
The 1980's also brought us back to the REAL look...implementing
CZ's and lots of glitz. |
