Era

• Mid-Century (c. 1955–1965) — The hook clasp with adjustable chain ending in a matching teardrop bead is very typical of postwar costume jewelry.

• This style was mass-produced by U.S. and European makers in the late ‘50s and ‘60s for department stores and five-and-dimes.

• Plastic beads (often lucite or similar) with high-gloss lacquer were a popular alternative to glass or real coral.

Style

• Retro / Rockabilly / Mad Men Era — Bold, saturated colors like this fire-engine red were fashion-forward in the late ‘50s.

• Pin-Up & Cocktail Jewelry — Shorter length (12–14") and double strand design made it perfect for open necklines and party dresses.

• Costume Jewelry Statement Piece — Meant to be eye-catching but affordable, matching the “fun fashion” movement of the era.

Probable Origin

• U.S. or Western Europe (West Germany, Czechoslovakia, or Japan were big producers in this style/period).

• Many American department store lines (Napier, Coro, Trifari, Lisner) imported beads from Europe or Japan and assembled them domestically.
