Learning Note: Confetti lucite jewelry became wildly popular in the 1950s-60s when designers experimented with embedding various materials in clear resin – glitter, foil, dried flowers, and natural shells! The technique created affordable jewelry with organic, artistic appeal. Shell chip confetti was especially prized because each piece of natural shell has unique iridescence, making every item one-of-a-kind. The chunky lucite cabochons paired with ornate metal frames captured that mid-century love of mixing modern materials with vintage-inspired details. These sets were perfect for both daytime and evening wear!
