Vintage Spinach Bakelite Beads with Wooden Beads Necklace and Earrings
What a great set for St. Patrick's Day or just for the Spring. This is a necklace I made with some triangular shaped Spinach Bakelite beads in swirled green, with Corn yellow bakelite buttons, and vintage wooden beads for accents. Additionally, I have used small black onyx beads, and sterling silver squares, a linked Sterling chain, with a dangle of the corresponding beads.
The necklace measures 25" from the lobster clasp to the end of the dangle, so it can be adjusted to 17" with the balance left as a dangle. The earrings are 2" long, and hang from Sterling silver marked wires.
The bakelite has been tested by three methods, and it is bakelite. A great set to gift or to wear. Great look, at a great price

Vintage Bakelite Cameo Necklace-Celluloid Chain
This is a great find! I love bakelite and love celluloid chains, and to find both together is super. This carved black bakelite pendant measures 2 7/8" by 2 7/8". The pink oval tests also for bakelite and it measures 1 1/2" x 1 1/8" wide and has a bevel cut around the perimeter. On the oval is a black frosted plastic or celluloid cameo of a woman with a draped gown and upswept hairdo. The chain is black celluloid and measures 26 1/2" long with and 3 links holding the pendant that measure 1" has no clasp, and easily goes over the head. From the 40's, I believe this could also be used as mourning jewelry.

Three Lucite and Plastic Bangles
Think Summer! These three bangles measure 2 5/8" inside diameter.
The orange-ade and pink marbleized bangle measure 5/8" wide and
3/8" thick. The hot pink measures 3/4" wide and 1/4"
thick. The orange-ade one has swirled oranges in a layered pattern, and
reminds me of a popsicle! The inside of the orange one is a matte
colored orange with the swirled part on the outside. The marbleized pink
compliments it beautifully, and the hot pink pulls it all together.
There are some form spots on the inside of the hot pink one, and two
fine scratches where I think someone must have tried to test it. These
do NOT test positive for bakelite and are a heavy lucite plastic
material. View
