Bakelite was the world's first synthetic plastic and was invented in 1907 by Leo Hendrik Baekeland. It was used in a myriad of applications but gained significant popularity in the jewelry industry due to its versatile characteristics. The term "Prystal" is a combination of "crystal" and "Bakelite" and was used to denote transparent or semi-transparent Bakelite pieces. These Bakelite Prystal items are now rare and highly sought after by collectors and vintage enthusiasts.

This dress clip also showcases Goofus Glass, an inexpensive, pressed glass decorated with cold, unfired paint in the early 20th century. Goofus Glass was often used for its vibrant color palette and eye-catching, reflective surface.
