A
BANGLE OF BOWTIES ( French Bakelite Jewelry Bangle Bracelet ): This
French Bakelite Bangle is such a lovely combination of colors. It has
bowties of deep red, butterscotch and the rare colors blue and lavender.
All of these are set on an ivory base. Made by Judith Evans, these
colors will remain as you see them since they do not contain
formaldehyde – the ingredient that caused the changes in vintage
pieces. The look and feel of vintage, but at a price that can’t be
beat. I mix my Evans pieces with vintage pieces all the time. For ladies
who do not have tiny wrists – this beauty has a larger inner
dimension. Condition: Excellent. Size: 5/8” wide, 2 5/8” inner
opening, 3/16” walls. |

BERRY TREATS ( French Bakelite Jewelry Pin & Earrings Set ): This
“good enough to eat” Berry Pin and Earring set is made of French

burgundy brown celluloid chain holds 8 round cherries on undamaged brown
strings. There are 4 opaque spearmint green berries and 4 marbleized
peachy brown berries. The eight molded and veined leaves are pale green
and peachy/brown. It is a large pin and the chain with the berries
swings freely. There is a safety clasp closure. The matching earrings
are clip backs. Fruit pins are highly collectable and this set is one
you seldom see. It will make you feel like springtime any time of the
year. Condition: Excellent. I do not know the age of this set. I have
had it for 4 years. Size: Pin 3 1/2” long, 3 3/4” wide. Berries are

BAKELITE
VICTORIAN REVIVAL BEAUTY ( Vintage Reverse Carved Bakelite &
Celluloid Cameo Brooch ): This Vintage Bakelite
and Celluloid Cameo Brooch proves that “everything old is new
again”. (c. 1940) At the turn of the 19th Century, large
Cameo Brooches that had been so popular with Victorians fell out of
favor and dainty stone encrusted earrings, pendants and bracelets were
all the fashion. In the 1930’s, Bakelite jewelry marked the returned
of big, bold pieces. The ivory colored celluloid cameo lady is highly
detailed with floral accents in her hair and around the neckline of her
classical drapery gown. The cameo is set on a gorgeous Vintage Bakelite
golden marbleized rootbeer circular pin. The edges have been reverse
carved to reveal applejuice stripes. The riveted pin back has a C clasp
closure. Elegant and chic, this timeless beauty will look at home on
denim or lace. Condition: Excellent. No chips or cracks. A few
fine scratches typical for its age. Size: 2 3/4" in diameter.
Bakelite portion is 1/4" deep, plus Cameo it is 1/2” deep.

MOD MEMORIES ( Vintage Bakelite Jewelry Dot Ring ): TV’s late ‘60’s
hit show – “Laugh In” – created many comedy stars as well as “Mod”
fashions. White go-go boots, mini skirts, wide belts, bell bottoms and
“flower power” were weekly staples. A young Goldie Hawn was one of the
most popular go-go dancers in a cage. In the late ‘60’s Bakelite made a
return since all these styles were playful and whimsical. This ring is
from that late 1960’s period. Vintage Bakelite was re-discovered and
used by some prominent designers for its bold impact. This ring is made
from a completely solid butterscotch ball. The dots are a creamed corn
color and cluster at the top and bottom of the ring. The mellow yellow
is very cool. The metal ring mount is a thin band that is slightly
expandable. Ring size is 6, but will expand to 6 3/4. If you are a fun
loving lady or into retro looks, you’ll love this ring. A rare find that
will draw many questions and compliments. I wore it for years when the
phrase “Sock it to me!” was cool. You don’t see many of these around
anymore. Condition: Excellent. A few tiny pin dot sized marks, but to
the naked eye it looks great! Size: Bakelite ball 1 1/8” in diameter.
Metal ring band 1/8” thick. Ring is a 6, but will expand to 6 3/4.

A TASTE OF BLACK CHERRY ( Vintage Bakelite Jewelry Clamper
Bracelet ): This gorgeous Vintage Bakelite Clamper Bracelet
demonstrates why Bakelite colors are so often described by using fruit
and vegetable colors. (c. 1940) How else could you describe this
translucent Black Cherry clamper bracelet? The bracelet has a circular
medallion composed of a deeply carved flower framed with textured loops
of brass ribbon. On each side of the raised medallion are smaller,
deeply carved flowers. This bracelet looks magnificent when worn, with
three carved flowers covering the front of your wrist. The clamper hinge
is tight and the closure is at the front, under the raised medallion.
The central brass and Vintage Bakelite floral piece is riveted in place.
A showy, but very elegant bracelet. A dynamic combination of color and
design. Condition: Excellent. A few light scratches on the back side –
they are vintage, too. Size: Central embellished carved Bakelite flower
is 1 3/8” in diameter and is 1/2” deep. The bracelet is 7/8” wide,
tapering to 3/4” at the back, 1/4” deep. Inner opening is 2 3/8”.

ALL AT SEA ( Vintage Bakelite Jewelry Necklace ):

World War II. This large necklace, based on a jaunty nautical theme of
alternating golden yellow and tomato red anchors, is a perfect example
of patriotic Bakelite jewelry. There are a total of 15 anchors suspended
from a 19” crimson celluloid chain. The necklace fits nicely at your
neckline. Fun to wear and perfect for playful summer fashions.
