80s Earrings and Necklace Sets

A ladies 80s costume is never going to look quite complete without a few accessories. One or two pieces of jewellery can work wonders on your 80s look, transforming it into a real head-turner.


Neon 80's Earrings, Necklaces and Bracelets Set
Neon Earrings, Bracelets and Necklaces Set (UK)
This complete neon jewellery set by Blue Planet Online is ideal for adding to your 1980s costume, and comes in five different colours. Try as I might, I could not find this item in the U.S. However, you will find a nice range of 80s Jewelry at Amazon.com. I also recommend searching for Neon Jewelry.

You can't get more 80s than neon geometric shapes, and this set featuring squares and triangles fits the bill just perfectly. I remember very similar beaded necklaces and big, geometric earrings being worn by 80s pop star Cyndi Lauper.

Cyndi Lauper Look-A-Like
This picture should give you some inspiration for creating an authentic 80s style. The fiery wig could be used to create a punk or Cyndi Lauper look. A stack of bangles, jelly wrist bands, faux pearl necklaces and dangle star earrings will create an authentic 80s fashion style, using a mix of clashing colours. Fingerless, fishnet/mesh gloves were also made popular by Madonna.

By far, the best place to look for 80s earrings is Amazon. They have an extensive range that comes in all shapes and sizes. I'll show you some examples further down the page, but for now you might want to check the following links;

Blondie - Debbie Harry - 70s and 80s Fashion Photos

Embed from Getty Images Debbie Harry Fridge Magnet Back in my school days (yes, it was a long, long time ago!) many kids associated Blondie purely with lead singer Debbie Harry, although Blondie was actually a band, and a damn fine one, too. It's not hard to see why. After all, she oozed sex appeal and became a style icon, and many of her looks can still be seen on the high street today. Harry's designer friend Stephen Sprouse can claim responsibility for many of those looks. He created every style you can imagine using denim, black leather biker jackets, camoflauge, wayfarer and aviator shades, pink and girly styles, nautical stripes, animal print catsuits - the list goes on! I find it amusing that in 1998 Britney Spears caused controversy by wearing a school uniform for her video "Hit Me Baby One More Time". How quickly we forget that Debbie Harry had done this two decades earlier! After forming in 1974, Blondie became pioneers of the punk and new wave s

Kia-Ora 80s TV Advert - I'll be your dog!

Anyone who watched British TV during the 1980s (or went to the cinema) will remember the Kia-Ora crows advert featuring the slogan "I'll be your dog".  You may well remember the Kia-Ora drinks in plastic cartons which the usherette used to sell in the cinema. They also sold them in our local youth club, although sometimes it was Tip Top orange, which kind of tasted like the carton.  The advert itself was pretty bizarre but also a lot of fun. It featured a child wearing a straw sunhat and carrying his belongings over his shoulder, while walking in the hot sun carrying an empty glass. Suddenly, a dog appears from nowhere and tips Kia-Ora orange into his glass. The sun wrings itself out into the glass to top it up.  A crow is following the child and shouts "Kia-Ora!". The child replies "It's too orangey for crows, It's just for me and my dog." The crow replies "I'll be your dog!", and then starts barking. As they continue to walk, an

Create an 80s or 90s Acid House - Raver Look

With its squelching bass sounds (often created using a Roland TB-303 bass synth) and minimalist production, the sound of acid house first became popular in the latter half of the 80s, starting in 1987. The media were more focused on the illegal raves and psychedelic drugs, but in reality, a good many young folk enjoyed dancing to the new sound in nightclubs (including myself) without going anywhere near any drugs or illegal raves. What is synonymous with the acid house scene is the smiley face logo, and the T-shirt featuring the logo, along with tie dye and psychedelic clothing, and bucket hats which became popular with ravers. Baggy over the knee shorts were popular with men. Bandanas and dungarees/dungaree shorts were also worn by both sexes. Some ravers also had  yellow whistles . In the early 90s,  white overalls , hooded anoracks and  yellow dust masks with an "E" , smiley face or radiation symbol also became part of the rave scene. Initially, the dust masks we
