Inexpensive costume jewellery made it possible for all to enjoy the cosmetic display of adornment, and girls loved the jangly, collector-friendly charm bracelet.
The concept behind a charm bracelet was to collect and add little “charms” – miniature plastic or metal representations of all the things you treasured in life.
Other forms of bracelets that jangled like the charm style were made of coins or interesting plastic shapes that hung down from a chain bracelet.
Blouses were created with a sleeve style named the ‘bracelet sleeve’ to highlight the adornment on the wrists.
