Bakelite
Solid Bangle Bracelet
Vintage 1930s-1940s Art Deco Era


A classic example of quintessential Art Deco jewelry, this solid bangle is crafted from authentic Bakelite (phenol formaldehyde resin). This early plastic, invented in 1907, became immensely popular for its durability and ability to be produced in a wide range of vibrant, marbled colors. This particular olive or "pea soup" green was a signature color of the era, making this a highly collectible piece of wearable history from the golden age of costume jewelry.


• Authentic early plastic construction consistent with vintage Bakelite
• Classic rounded, seamless bangle design
• Distinctive marbled "pea soup" olive green coloration
• Measurements (approximate): 2.5" inner diameter, 3.25" outer diameter, 0.54" width


Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The bangle displays a beautiful high-gloss polish with no significant chips, cracks, or crazing. Surface shows only extremely minimal signs of age-appropriate wear, visible only upon close inspection. A superb and highly presentable example for any collector.
