Item Description
"Bakelite" was the first modern industrial plastic. Developed around 1910, it was used to make brightly colored everyday items like knife handles, salt shakers, buttons, and jewelry. From Sears to Saks, everyone sold Bakelite jewelry in the 1920s and '30s. Prices ranged from a few cents to a few dollars for pins made by Chanel and other designers. By the 50s, Bakelite was no longer being made, and its jewelry languished in secondhand stores for pennies.
But, today, Bakelite is highly collectible with the complexity of design and rarity of the pattern determining the value.
Bracelet is 1-1/4 inch wide. Wrist hole is 2-1/2 inch wide.
