The 1960s were known for progress, free thinking, and “flower power,” and these cultural changes led to new trends for costume jewelry.
During this period, costume jewelry designers started to experiment with innovative techniques and materials, and began producing designs made with less expensive components. With the rise of mass production and technology advancements, plastics became more popular in jewelry design and fashion became more accessible for every woman.
Notable styles include over sized accessories, global styles, and bright colors. Floral designs were also popular, and these designs were usually made of plastics.
During this period, bangles in all different colors were the ultimate fashion accessory.
