Newest Fruity Collection!

May 30, 2025

There’s something so unique and charming about having a fruit-themed charm necklace that clicks together when you walk. A pair of earrings with resin beads molded to look like sweet cherries that everyone makes the time and effort to compliment when their eyes stumble upon your decorated ears. And a stylish, colorful, chunky charm bracelet that moves and makes a singing sound of jewelry to add to your accessories. The thing with fruit-shaped jewelry is that once you see it, somehow you see it everywhere.

The style and trend of wearing fruit jewelry and charms began with the animated and bold style of singer and dancer Carmen Miranda in the 1930s. She quickly became a figure of influence and popularized fruit jewelry with her elaborate fruit headdresses and jewelry. Her extravagant style was called ‘Tutti Frutti’, which is an Italian term that translates to “all fruits”. The trend of fruit charms and jewelry resurged and stayed popular in the 1950s, 60s, and then again in the 80s due to the post-war influence, making individuals seek unique, colorful, and eye-catching pieces. With various styles emerging. Necklaces with a single chain with various lightweight fruits and vegetables dangling from it. For example, even I in the 1980s had a line of fruit charm earrings with vintage Japanese glass.

The style and trend have resurged yet again in recent months. We seem to be in an era of nostalgia for past trends, for self-expression, and for fun, playful, and colorful aesthetics.
While Carmen Miranda’s fame was at the height of her career in the 1930s through the 1940s, her aura and lavish style are parallel to recent trends.

So, this summer, let vintage fruit charms be the abundance in life you didn’t know you needed. Let the colorful, spectacular, and unique aura of singer and dancer Carmen Miranda dance its way to your jewelry accessories. And enjoy the Tutti Frutti-ness of whatever your creative mind can create. The thing with fruit-shaped jewelry is that once you see it, somehow you see it everywhere.
