Showcase your love for vintage fashion with this elegant Apple Cider Bakelite bangle bracelet. Renowned for its rich hue and polished sheen, the bracelet adds a warm pop of color to your outfit.
The bangle is made from Bakelite, a type of plastic that was popular in the early 20th century, specifically from the 1920s to the 1950s. Bakelite is considered the first synthetic plastic, invented by Belgian-born American Leo Hendrik Baekeland in 1907. Its durability, heat resistance, and electrical nonconductivity made it a popular choice for various industries, including fashion.
Fashion-wise, Bakelite jewelry had its heyday during the Art Deco period. Its affordability, coupled with its capacity to be dyed into a rainbow of colors, carved, and molded, made it a favorite among jewelry designers. Bakelite bangles, like this Apple Cider bracelet, were the epitome of Art Deco chic and remain highly collectible to this day.
As the trend of plastic jewelry waned post-World War II, Bakelite items have gained significant importance in the vintage market. Today, they are celebrated for their role in the history of costume jewelry and are sought after by collectors worldwide.
This Bakelite bangle bracelet is in excellent vintage condition, bearing no damages. It brings with it not just a splash of color but also a slice of fashion history. Whether you're a Bakelite collector, a vintage enthusiast, or a fashion-forward individual, this bracelet is sure to make a charming addition to your collection.
