Some of Our Favorite 1960s Vintage Jewelry

The Swinging Sixties saw a breakdown of strictly held societal norms. The counterculture movement was embraced by the youth. President Kennedy established the Peace Corps and Martin Luther King Jr. shared his dream. Racial segregation was outlawed and the space race kept us on the edge of our seats.

The British Invasion brought us the Beatles. Psychedelic art became the norm. The classical Hollywood era came to an end while TV series gained prominence. The retro jewelry movement was on its way out as beehive hairdos made their appearances. In short, the 1960s were a time of change, and Peter Suchy Jewelry has the wearable art that enticed us.

Boulder Opal Pendant 

 

Dangling from a 16-inch chain is a bright green boulder opal. The metal is 14k solid yellow gold. The setting is handmade and the boulder opal is a natural stone. The color play includes blue, green and flecks of red. This is a gorgeous piece that displays beautifully against a solid-colored blouse or sweater.

Akoya Pearl Earrings 

 

Cultured pearls dangle yellow gold ballerinas. The pearls measure about 6.5mm. These dangle earrings are for pierced ears. They are a great present for a teen who loves to dance ballet or the mom whose daughter is an aspiring ballerina.

Lapis Lazuli Clip & Post Earrings 

 

These earrings have 14k solid yellow gold setting. The 1960s were the period during which lapis lazuli was quite popular. The deep-blue round gemstones are true showstoppers. The clip-and-post style secures the jewelry to your ears.

Gold Flower Design Ring 

 

This is the type of ring that you see and cannot forget. The setting is fashioned from 14k solid yellow gold. A black 1.85 cts. opal with amazing green flecks draws the eyes, which then take in the gold flower design. Heightening the aesthetic appeal of the piece are four scattered round-cut diamonds. The prongs holding the diamonds are white gold, which further underscores the clarity of the pieces.

Tiffany & Co. Circle Pin 

 

Who does not want own to own a genuine Tiffany & Co. creation? This 14k yellow gold pin shows off the love of rounded edges that gripped the late 1960s. The diameter of the pin is 1.5 inches. Wear this piece to the office or when out on the town.
