1930s - 1940s Bakelite Bangle - Tomato Red with Yellow swirls (Sold)
Red Bakelite is one of the most popular colours for vintage jewellery. This 1930s - 1940s genuine Bakelite bangle is a gorgeous shade of tomato red with the added plus of some yellow swirls throughout. Bakelite bangles were most popular in the 1930s and 1940s and are bang on trend again. There is a lovely chunky feel to this Red Bakelite Bracelet. The outer diameter measures 8.5cms the inner diameter measures 6.5cms making the width of the curved wall of the bangle about 2cms, it is also almost 1.5cms thick. It is nice and shiny but has the usual fine surface scratches that you find on genuine old Bakelite jewellery, it also has a couple of 'dings' one on the inner rim and one on the outer rim. None of these detract from its wearability or appeal. The red colour of this Bakelite bangle makes it an ideal Christmas gift for yourself or for someone else!
