In an era where glamour and novelty was a frenzy, some of the most unusual and bold earrings take center stage in this 1950s clip!
Anyone interested in fashion respects creativity. What's more interesting is where the creative stylistic ideas came from. Believe it or not, it all began during a time when women took on the more "traditional housewife" roles.
This 1950s fashion newsreel, which was filmed in a Soho boutique, shows us a model trying on a variety of avant-garde earring designs. The clip is courtesy of Pathé News, a prominent producer of newsreels and documentaries from 1910 until 1970 in the United Kingdom.
It's such a delight to watch this mini newsreel of the most trendy and brave 1950s earrings fashion. Its most appealing quality is the boldness in such designs during decade when female diffidence still existed.
As described in the video, the accents of the earrings are focused on "gayety and color" — you'll just have to watch to see. What's most charming is the miniature champagne bucket, and of course the miniature hand. Yes, a delicately painted hand. The cuckoo clock and tiny jeweled skier are equally inventive. It's hard not to want a pair.
And you know these are all made with great handcrafted quality — they don't make them like they used to!
