This page covers necklaces, pendants and charms - combined. Often a design was sold one year as a pendant, the next year as a charm for a bracelet. 

Aside from a basic Girl Scout trefoil ring and Brownie ring, decorative jewelry did not show up in the Girl Scout catalogs until 1938, when Bangle Bracelets were first offered.

Although rings, bracelets and pins continued to be offered during the years of World War II, necklaces, pendants and charms disappeared from the Girl Scout catalogs until the fall of 1947.

Many necklaces, especially the later ones, came as sets with earrings, bracelets, etc. Many items shown here are from catalog images.

The "Crystal Ball" was introduced in the 1940 catalog, as a pendant or attached to a bar pin. It was noted that by unscrewing the top part the ball would come apart and new images could replace the trefoil and chalet images.
