Style Notes - 1951 - Curvaceous

From an article in the L.A. Times in 1951...changes in jewelry styles for the season include:

"designs that are feminine, curvaceous and delicate in shape. Earrings curve up the lobe and bedeck the ear with flower, leaf, ribbon or fountain-spray motifs. Throat hugging necklines curve in wave lines festooned with "floating" fringe.......the most fetching adornments....is the re-created lavaliere, a necklace and pendant made for each other. Flowers...ferns, feathers and bowknots are "frozen" into the lacy metal of bracelets, brooches and clips"

Shown below is a nice example from Trifari in 1951
