Antique / vintage art deco bakelite bangle bracelet:
~ Chunky, heavy, substantial - high end and well crafted
~ Unique shade of bakelite - so dark and rich it appears to be black at first glance. But when held to a light source and focusing on the areas where the material is thinner you can spot a rich dark cherry or molasses like reddish brown color. It gives off a warm hued glow and looks and feels very special.
~ Deep carved with stylized deco floral and foliage designs
Ready and waiting for your wrist, special day, outfit, display, collection or gift giving - you will love this!
