mid 80's jewelry playset?
« on: Sunday 25 April 2010, 11:51 pm »
Okay everyone... hoping somebody remembers ANYthing about these jewelry sets, because I remember very little about a brand name or packaging- though I do remember most sets were blister-packed.

Circa 1985-1987, it was a series of plastic jewelry. Definitely purchased from Toys R Us. Each set came with white pearlized pop-beads and plastic rhinestones (I had a necklace set that came with pink stones and another necklace and bracelet set that came with blue stones)  that snapped into a pearlized-and-gold plastic casing, so you could "Create" your own jewelry design. There was also a jewelry box that you could decorate by snapping different colored rhinestones into. I've looked ALL OVER and can't find a single thing about these jewelry sets! I loved them!  I've been seraching for over a year now with no leads.

I think I remember having them too? It was like a bead with a post/tab on one end and a hole on the other that allowed them to interlock?

I know these arent the right ones because they are new. But I thought I would post them anyways because they are super cute and they pop into eachother to interlock for all kinda of jewelery. I recently bought some of these at Costco for a little girl and she loved them. :)

they were definitely sort of like that?  Only all the beads were white pearlized, and they popped into each piece, yes.

I'm also fairly certain, that while pop-beads are a fairly generic toy, this particular set had a name and commercials and stuff.

Also, apparently they were popular in the 50s...

Mine weren't a bucket from a craft store. They were like dress up jewelry...
