  29. Hi Elisabethan! Thanks for your comment. I have the same feeling as you that this necklace may not be bakelite. I would love to solve the mystery about it and know what it is made of, and indeed it ...
  30. Hi Bonnie! I recently found a necklace that is almost identical to yours: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/257190-chunky-cherry-amber-bakelite-necklac?in=user When I bought it, I was prett...
