Rockabilly Jewelry

Cute and Classic

 

Rockabilly clothing for a woman is incomplete without the addition of some vintage rockabilly jewelry.  What sort of rockabilly jewelry was worn, and what can be found today to complete an outfit?

Most women wore some form of pendant with their outfits.  Such rockabilly jewelry could be cute cartoonish pictures of a country girl (red and white plaid shirt with a kerchief tied around her neck and a cowgirl hat on her head), a drawing of a true rockabilly style woman (in a gingham blouse and straight wool skirt), or something as simple as the word “faith” written decoratively across the pendant like a tattoo.

Rockabilly jewelry also included earrings.  Some earrings were shaped like dice, pointed toward a rebellious attitude, while others were more innocent, like blossoms or a pair of hibiscus.  Cherries were a favorite subject of rockabilly jewelry, and often a tri-cherry design matched on both earrings and a pendant necklace.

Other items that might be worn as rockabilly jewelry were shell necklaces and earrings.  These favored items were inexpensive and easily replaceable, with a trip to a small beach front shop.  In fact, all rockabilly jewelry was easy to come by and cheaply replaced.

Rockabilly jewelry was considered sexy, and was a small piece of the whole picture of the perfect rockabilly woman.  Rockabilly women were the topics of many pinups in the 1950’s, and most pinup girls were never caught without some form of jewelry.  Rockabilly jewelry was not expensive, as it wasn’t meant as a status symbol.  It was simply a statement of who you were and what you stood for.

Rockabilly jewelry can today be found on the internet, on vintage wear sites, where you can purchase other items to complete a rockabilly outfit.  Men and women alike can find classic pieces as well as modern imitations of these items.  A few strokes of the keyboard will turn up wonderful treasures that are reminiscent of the innocence of the past.
