Bakelite bangles from the Art Deco and later periods are getting very sought after. This is a particularly useful spacer bangle which is perfect for using in a group with gold, silver, wooden or every more brightly coloured Bakelite bangles. The colour is a bit of a problem because it looks Black like Licorice in some lights but has a very Dark Brown Bitter Chocolate colour in other lights. I always describe vintage Bakelite bangles in colours that remind you of sweets because it is the way they do it in the USA and they certainly have some of the finest examples of collectable Bakelite costume jewelry over there! This nice example measures 3 inches from outer edge to outer edge and 2.5 inches across its middle gap making it suitable for a small to medium wrist. The wall of this dark Bakelite bracelet is curved on the outer edge and flat in the midddle and is approximately quarter of an inch thick.The Bakelite bangle is in very good condition and is ready to be worn or added to your collection of vintage costume jewellery.
