Green is usually the cheapest bakelite or lucite but when your favorite color is green - like mine!! - then you buy 'em and you're sure to wear 'em anyway and everyone asks you where you got 'em and wants them! I made the charm bracelet from my stash of old green buttons. (solder those links - I've been at the club under a table when I thought I heard something fall.) Also in picture a great 2-tone hat pin, 2 lovely carved clips that I found in Silver City for $20!
I like to wear my greens w/my 1950's fitted grey jacket - and of course on my denim jacket and yes w/my black dress and chunky black platforms...
Bakelite Costume JewelryBakelite was an early plastic resin, developed by Leo Baekeland in 1907. Or…
I love seeing so much Bakelite all in one place! Looks great!
By the way thank you ALL: vetraio, pencap, amber, vintageStation, vintagemad and moonstone for your love of the Plastic Fantastic!
