From the jewelry featured on the silver screen to the pieces celebrities, style arbiters and our first ladies wore in real life and publicity stills, the ’50s and early ’60s heralded the return of celebratory and sentimental charms. After WWII, there was a new lighthearted feeling that spread throughout the country. Actresses continued to influence what real women wore and mother’s inspired their daughters.
