Scalloped-Edged Shoes ID Guide

Scalloped-edged pumps came exclusively with second year adult female dolls and fashions. They came in three styles: metallic, translucent and opaque, the latter being the most common and difficult to ID. On top of that, there are also thin edged shoes with wider heels (turn them upside down to see the heels difference) or thick edged shoes with skinnier heels. Like the sandals and straight-edged shoes, it's not enough to know the different colours; there are also different variations of thickness having to do with the H numbers printed on the boxes of the fashions and dolls. Since the scalloped-edged shoes were for the second year only, there are no year-related differences among them, and the thickness differences seem to correspond only to different fashions, not variations within the same fashion.

Metallic There are three different shades of metallic scalloped-edged shoes. They were exclusive to the Glitter 'n Gold line.

	Silver Only came with Golden Days, Diamond Nights
	Pale Gold Only came with Glitter 'n Gold Jem/Jerrica
	Yellow Gold Came with Midnight Magic Moroccan Magic Purple Haze

Translucent Only two dolls got this style of shoe. Had the line continued in 1988, there probably would have been more of them made available; they are shown in the 1988 Pre-Toy Fair Hasbro catalogue.

	Orange Only came with Danse
	Pink Only came with Video

Opaque Try not to get lost in the pinks! There are minute colour differences between each shade though maybe not readily apparent from the photos. Luckily, the thickness of shoes can vary as well, so be sure to check for that, as well as colour to match your shoes properly.

	Navy Blue Only came with Broadway Magic
	Green Only came with You Gotta Be Fast
	Yellow. I have only seen with thin sides. Note that they are not fluorescent (see below). Only came with Shana (2nd Edition)
	Fluorescent Yellow Came with Raya Flash 'n Sizzle Jem/Jerrica
	Fluorescent Orange Only came with Designing Woman

Pink (Dark) And so the bane of many collectors, the pink scalloped-edged shoes. Unfortunately, it's not very easy at all to identify these unless you have several shades that you can compare with. Nevertheless, I shall attempt it. To the left/below 6 are that are easiest (relatively speaking) to ID, as they are fairly distinct from each other in person, if not online. Generally going from darkest to lightest.  She Makes an Impression: The easiest of these to ID, it is the most purple of all the hot pink shoes. Thin sides.  Clash: Thick sides, bluish tone. Very similar to the shoes from There's a Melody Playin'- Melody being a tad "brighter" looking, slightly more pink.  There's a Melody Playin': Thick sides.  Rock & Curl Jem /Second Edition Aja: Thin sides, fluorescent pink. Very deep, intense colour.  Gold Rush: Thick sides, fluorescent pink. (these came with my personal fashion, Annessa's NRFB one came with thin sided shoes, possibly in another shade) Imagine RC Jem's shoes with a little bit of baby blue mixed in. Slightly cooler toned and lighter.  Second Edition Kimber/Fire & Ice: Are also fairly easy to ID on their own, they are melon shaded (hot pinky/orange)

Pink (Dark/Fluorescent) (Another comparison according to one Jem fan) Second Edition Aja: Thin sides, fluorescent pink. Very deep, intense colour.  Putting It All Together: Aja 2 and R&C shoes are very bright fluorescent pink, the PIAT shoes are verging on pastel, they have a definite fluorescent pink in them, but its tempered with a healthy dose of blue tones, they are close to being pastel, they blend perfectly with the tights- they are far more obvious in person - the pic doesn't do the difference justice.  Rock n' Curl Jem: Thin sides, fluorescent pink. Very deep, intense colour.

	Magenta, easily the darkest of the pinks; have thin edges. Only came with She Makes an Impression
	Dark Pink #1 Only came with Clash
	Dark Pink (fuchsia) #2 Only came with There's A Melody Playing
	Dark Pink #3 (can be thin, or thick edged) As this is one of the most popular dolls, if you have a pair of dark pink scalloped-edged shoes you need to ID, start with her. Came with Rock 'n Curl Jem
	Fluorescent pink #1 I have seen this fashion with both thin and thick-sided shoes, my personal NRFB fashion came with thick-sided shoes. Gold Rush
	Melon Pink Among the easiest pinks to ID. Came with Second Edition Kimber Fire & Ice
	Fluorescent pink #2 Came with Aja (2nd Edition)
	Fluorescent pink #3 Came with Puttin' it all Together

	Dark Pink #4 Fairly easy to distinguish from the other dark pinks. Only came with You Can't Catch Me
	Purple Only came with Love's Not Easy
	Black Only came with Jetta
