Think big, is the key here! Harking back to the period of 1945-60. Big Hollywood style, and exaggerated, bold pieces. Does it twinkle? Does it jangle? Does it sparkle? Then it’s quite likely that it is a retro piece. Bangles, thick chain bracelets, cocktail rings, ostentatious watches and gaudy charms are classic examples of this era. The bigger, the better may as well have been their motto!
