Fashion History

This glossy, candy-apple red heart brooch is a classic example of the lightweight plastic and acrylic jewelry trends that dominated the 1980s and 1990s. Moving away from heavy metals, companies like Hallmark released smooth, molded Lucite "puffy" hearts during this era alongside their iconic greeting card lines, serving as accessible, cheerful everyday statements for Valentine's Day and casual wear.
