    1950's Western Germany Bangle Bracelet

    Well, I thought this was Bakelite, so I picked it up for a friend that collects them. Even tho it's plain, I figured she might like it anyway.

    As I looked at it, I see that it's translucent! So...what the heck is this bracelet made of??? Translucent? Is that the right word or should it be Transparent???

    I don't have a black light, but would this be uranium??? It already sort of "glows". I have no idea, it doesn't "thud" when you tap it with your fingernail. It sort of "sings", almost like the difference between a crystal glass and a regular glass.

    Thanks for your help!

      Translucent and possibly will glow! I like the blue hand too.
      A bit Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds here: "a piece of green glass in her blue right hand". Nah sorry, the poetic metre is not right!

      Thanks Karen, that cobalt hand has been around the block a couple times. I think it was chasing "Thing" around and Lurch didn't like that! lol...

      speaking of Lurch, take a peek at this...

      Hi val! Yes, this does "sing"! Not sure why but 1950's is what I thought. Although the surface is "plain" this is a very interesting bracelet. Different, for sure. What surprised me about this is the sticker still on it!

      Thanks for the love
