He friends, let me introduce this pretty lot of art deco jewelry I bought this week.
The green pendant - not sure if bakelite or galalith, looks pretty much bakelite, smells like bakelite, and has this pretty patina, but Simichrome does not react yellow. ,My guess is bakelite, though. Note the color difference between the front side and the back side. The smaller red pendant - not sure, what is it, maybe galalith. Red brooch with sport theme is from glass, and the central part of the human figure was originally painted red. The black and white rooch is from plastic.
Red glass brooch and the black/white brooch- more photos below:

Any ideas where the pieces were made?
Thank you valentino97! I bought this in a lot of mostly broken, pre-WW2 pieces, the seller was from Czech republic. So I suppose you are right - could be Czech or any of the neighbouring countries like Germany or Austria.
I would like to recover the pendants to their former glory, hopefully I will find some original parts so I can put them into necklaces.
Hah, but that picture is horrible, I look so chubby there, like a panda, I hoped no-one noticed it :D :D
I love every piece! Great collection you have there. It is so cool and modern although old.
Thank you! Yes.,it is oddly modern, agree...
