Bold and Experimental Jewelry

The social revolution continues to be remembered as a time of boldness and experimentation, and the jewelry of that decade was no exception. Geometric shapes, black and white, and plastic were all the rage, with oversized earrings becoming incredibly trendy thanks to the shorter hairstyles of the time.

The ’70s brought even more flamboyant styles, with vibrant colors and disco-inspired designs taking over. And in the ‘80s, jewelry was used to make bold statements, with faux pearls and oversized pieces being trendy. Mixing and matching jewelry became a trend, and it almost always guaranteed you the male gaze in any room.
