Fruit Salad Jewelry

Updated on May 6, 2014

Fruit Salad Jewelry - Unique Jewelry for Special People

Do you know about yummy Fruit Salad Jewelry? I have found some of it at a super-huge flea market in Southern California that I visited on a trip many of years ago. I have also inherited some pieces from my mother. Every once in a while I find some at garage sales if I am lucky. I am always happy to wear them because I love unusual, colorful pieces.

Fruit Salad jewelry, whether kitsch costume jewelry or elegant precious jewelry is delightful, cute jewelry that is fun and festive. Fruit salad jewelry is full of colors and different designs, as varied as the gemstones and the materials that are used to make it. Much of it is vintage jewelry - and you will find some signature pieces as well.

Fruit salad jewelry should be fun and beautiful, it is based on one of my favorite foods - fruit salad!

Fruit Salad Jewelry

Inspired by Carmen Miranda

Fruit Salad jewelry is that is set with colorful, molded stones. The stones are glass, plastic or real jewels. If they are costume stones, they can be either transparent or translucent. inspired by Carmen Miranda - the Brazilian Bombshell - and her fruit salad hat

Fruit Salad jewelry can be either costume jewelry, but it can also be fine jewelry as well. The difference is that costume jewelry was and is created with other than fine jewels: paste beads, different types of glass, even modified paper. Fine jewelry of course, is made of precious or semi-precious stones.

Fruit salad jewelry, whether costume jewelry or fine jewelry may be gaudy and kitsch, but it is somehow very pretty as well. And of course it comes in all the colors of the rainbow.

But caution! Fruit salad jewelry is not edible!
