People still enjoy the nostalgic feel of Pop Beads making necklaces and bracelets in bright color combinations. They tended to make fancier looking Pop Beads with lustrous finishes. Some higher end jewelry manufacturers even got in on the Pop Bead trend including companies such as Coro, Richelieu and companies in Hong Kong. The white or off white pearl style was very popular as an alternative to higher priced pearl necklaces with the added advantage that Pearl Pop Beads could be changed to any length from choker to longer, looped strands. In the 50's Pop Beads came in lots of colors and finishes from matte to shiny. They were originally made as an inexpensive plastic jewelry that anyone could afford and were sold mostly in Five & Dimes. Pop Beads are a fun 50s fad that we still enjoy.
