Jewellery in the 1960s was all about bold expression, vibrant colors, and unconventional materials, reflecting the era’s spirit of liberation and experimentation. Statement pieces like oversized earrings, chunky necklaces, and large cocktail rings were popular, often crafted from bright gemstones and metals. The influence of Pop Art brought playful designs made from plastic and acrylic, making jewellery more accessible and fun. Space Age styles embraced futuristic, metallic looks with sleek, geometric shapes, while the hippie movement introduced natural elements like beads, wood, and shells, adding a bohemian touch. This mix of bold, eclectic styles made 1960s jewellery a true reflection of the decade’s revolutionary energy.
