Flying BIRD, Peace DOVE OMBRE Tortoise Shell Buckles BAKELITE GEOMETRIC Necklace
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:1107513 | Material: Bakelite |
An eye-catching, beautiful yellow Bakelite bird, accented with swirled tortoise shell, applejuice and butterscotch Bakelite!This necklace is a bit different from the poker chip necklaces I create. I came upon a small stash of these cute little 1940's Bakelite buckles or slides. Too small to use for my other necklaces, I came up with what you see here! The monochromatic array of buckles hang from a petite black plastic chain with a focal point of a gorgeous, CREAMED CORN... Bakelite bird flying through a circle. This centerpiece and buckles are truly gorgeous, very swirled and polished up spectacularly! ALL BAKELITE, except for the chain and findings. The necklace is 18" long with a hook closure. The bird centerpiece is 2" in diameter and the buckles/slides are 1 1/2" in diameter, please see pics with dime to get an idea of size. (All measurements are approximate). The piece is in SUPERB CONDITION, gorgeous Bakelite and pristine chain and hook.I have been collecting Bakelite bits and pieces for years (I just love the look, feel and sound). Simichrome tested Bakelite. All the Bakelite has had a long life already as something else before it's new life as a spectacular necklace, so there will be some imperfections and wear...CALL IT PATINA! I have polished the pieces to reveal all that glorious color. This necklace would be an exceptional addition to your BAKELITE JEWELRY collection.Most of my jewelry is 40-80 years old and I describe my items to the best of my ability and I include detailed pictures, please ask any and all questions prior to buying.U.S. buyer will receive FREE shipping and handling.Please see my other listings for more great MID-CENTURY vintage jewelry from CORO, LISNER, TRIFARI, STAR and BSK, as well as wonderfully different unsigned pieces and sets.THANK YOU FOR LOOKING!
