Eye catching vintage bakelite necklace:
- Double layer festoon or bib style
- Drippy dangly bakelite rings with the most unusual asymmetrical scalloped edge shape
- Two marbled colors - one a butterscotch swirl the other a tortoise shell with an olive green hue
- Matching brass beads in the center of each
- Brass or brass toned chain
- Period correct old extender / lengthener with similar chain style - I have a feeling it has been there quite a while!
* Ready and waiting for your neckline, collection, and/or gift giving
ESTIMATED AGE OR ERA = True original authentic antique / vintage piece. Guessing 1920's to 1930's
METAL AND/OR MATERIAL = Brass or brass toned metal - the extension piece has a tad darker hue. Both shades of the colorful dangles pass the Simichrome and rub and smell tests for bakelite
CLOSURE/CLASP = Small tension latch clasp
MARKS = None that I could find
MEASUREMENTS = Bottom strand / chain measures 21" long - not including any visual length the pieces add - inner strand is 18" - not counting the bakelite or beads. Both measurements include the extender. Colorful pieces are aprox 1" long x 13/16" wide. Beads 1/4" diameter
US RING SIZE = x
WEIGHT = x
CONDITION = Fantastic condition for the age - no actual damage to mention.
View & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina, and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged. I will do my best to note anything glaring or distracting. Please utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all. Pictures normally speak louder than words and individuals also interpret characteristics differently.
