Starburst jewellery, particularly earrings and brooches, have been an iconic jewellery statement dating back to the Victorian era. Seen on the red carpet recently on the likes of Anne Hathway, Amanda Seyfried and Alicia Keys, starburst jewellery is a classic must-have for your wardrobe.
But what does the starburst design and the atomic bomb have in common? The starburst design's popularity was re-ignited in the 1950's after the US began testing the atomic bomb. It was labelled 'atomic style' and became popular not just amongst jewellery designers, but was used on everything from clocks to mirrors to dinnerware because the starburst design was likened to the rays and spheres simulating the path of electrons around the nucleus of an atom.
Get atomic style with these fab silver and gold starburst earrings from Lovisa for under $15.
