Studded Bakelite Bangle Jewelry

What makes Bakelite so intriguing to so many collectors?   

For me, its the fascinating colors used in Bakelite designs.   Rich Purples, Butterscotch, Applejuice, Stardust, Lime Greens, Cherry Reds, and Sunny Yellows all make up the kitschy colors of Bakelite jewelry!   The modern hardware found on these vintage finds shows their lasting appeal to so many people.

Can you believe these bangles are from the 1930's?   The studded hardware on a Butterscotch background look so modern.   The would easily fit in today's runway fashions.

This amazing 1930's Bakelite bangle can be found at VaudevilleGypsy on Etsy.  The hardware is designed in a geometric Art Deco pattern.  What a splendid find!


This third fantastic find is on sale at ReclamationShop on Etsy.   The seller says it is 1950's stock and I am taking the liberty of saying it has wonderful brass hardware studs attached to and chocolate brown/vanilla Bakelite.

These jewelry pieces are terrific examples of the vintage finds still out there, waiting for new homes!  With so many appreciative buyers, it won't be long until these pieces are off the market!
