1 retailer Vintage Bakelite Bangle - Chunky Mustard Yellow and Brown Marbled Faceted Oval Marblette Polished Marbled Bakelite Bracelet 13/16"

When I purchased this, I was told it was found in a drawer of a Bakelite factory that had already been completely auctioned off. I bought it in a lot with several other pieces of the same shape, so this made sense to me! I've since been told it was more newly made, and yet it had a lot of patina when I purchased it.... Who knows! It's incredible either way, but i wanted to be honest about the back story. It is an amazing deep mustard yellow with brown marble. The oval shape fits larger hands than the standard size bangles. This is a statement piece that will get attention from even people who don't know about Bakelite!

This bangle has been cleaned and restored to the original color with a careful, chemical free process. This is authentic original Bakelite with the right weight, fit and sound to mix perfectly with the rest of your collection. It is in excellent with no chips, scuffs or scratches a beautiful, even polish.

All our Bakelite is authentic. It has been polished and cleaned to expose the original color. As retailer all Bakelite patinas with age, over the years this bangle will change color again. To slow the patina process, we recommend storing your Bakelite in a closed jewelry box or drawer. It should not be stored with Lucite, Celluloid, or Bakelite with patina.

The process of cleaning off the tarnish means that the exterior of the bangles will no longer pass a Simichrome/409 test.

This will be sent in an anti-tarnish bag. The more you leave your Bakelite this in the bag, the longer it will stay bright!
