Eighties Vintage Plastic Charms
Every girl in the 80s had a few, right? Those beautiful brightly colored cheap plastic charms on a cheap plastic chain. Never before and never since has a pile of colorful plastic jewelry meant so much to a girl. They were crazy cheap, and EVERYWHERE. Some girls trading them with their friends, others simply could not part with them.
Each little charm had the clip, a bell, and the charm hanging off a little loop. Bicycles, fruit, animals, electronics, frying pans....they were all available....and I HAD to have them.
At age seven, it was my mission in life to have enough of these to reach from one wall of my room to the other. No need for the chains; I wanted to just link all the charms in succession. And, I was successful.
Check out my collection of 80s plastic bell charms, and how you can get your hands on some charms now (in case you didn't hold on to your collection).

Fruit Bell Charms
Everyone had fruit charms for their 80s charm bracelet!
I think everyone had a few pieces of fruit in their charm collection. After all, it was the eighties - the time of Strawberry Shortcake and her berry fruity friends, the time of Pac Man and his cherries, and the age of the banana clip.I think it was also the colors. We just LOVED colors in the eighties.
I have in my vintage charm collection strawberries, grapes, cherries, apples, bananas, and ice cream. Ice Cream is a fruit, right?

- I bet my daughter would remember these - I know she loved Strawberry Shortcake and the Care Bears in the 80's. I enjoyed seeing these - now if I come across them at a swap meet, I'll know that they are collectible!

- I have a collection that I started in 1985, and at the current time I have at least 500 charms and approximately 15 of a combination of necklaces, bracelets, etc. There are maybe only three or four doubles.

- I remember pawing through bins and bins of them at flea markets - got 12 for a dollar - I also remember several that were overabundant when looking - the record, the racket, and the roller skate ! These were the best ! (I think silly bands tried to be the next 80's charms - but I do not think they were NEARLY as cool ! )
