Outstanding vintage bakelite bangle bracelet and ring set:
*The bracelet is delightfully chunky and substantial feeling. Thick walled - looks and feels like it should almost be made of glass. Four rows of diamond shaped carved faceting really allow these to sparkle
*Ring has an elegant cushion shape to it and has the same diamond cut faceting
*The ring is a very small size - perfect for the pinky or to hang from a soft velvet cord to wear as a pendant / necklace if it doesn't fit any of your digits
*Both appear to be color change or dichroic in nature as the color has yellow hues that can range from a sunny light yellow to a deep honey tone depending on the way light hits. High end transparent prystal bakelite at it's finest
*Both pieces tested positive for bakelite with both the rub and smell and simichrome methods
*Marks = None that I can find
*Measurements = Bangle is an inch tall, 1/2" wall thickness, and has an inside diameter of 2 1/2". Ring is a petite size 4 3/4 and the face measures 15/16" tall x 7/8" wide. The band tapers to 4 mm in the back
*Weight = Together - 68.8 grams on my scale
CONDITION: Great vintage condition - no damage or quirks to mention on either.
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 sure note anything glaring or distracting. Please utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all.
