sixties, all housewives in my Carolina town had a drawer full of
gaudy costume jewelry. My mom had two drawers full. I used to sneak in her room and try it on. "Iridescent" pieces were quite popular. She'd have totally worn earrings (clip-ons; moms didn't get their ears pierced in those days) in this aquamarine-turquoise color.
I did it in several different colors. I think the darker colors worked best, though I couldn't make it work in red or green for some reason.
