Vintage 1930s Bakelite Book Piece Reverse Carved Butterscotch Bracelet

Vintage 1930s Bakelite Book Piece Reverse Carved Floral Link Bracelet is a fabulous reverse carved apple juice link stretch bracelet, a book piece featured in several books on bakelite. This is a book piece in a similar design in Plastic Jewelry by Lyngerda Kelly and Nancy Schiffer and can be found on page 45 in a different color. It is also a book piece of similar designs in The Bakelite Collection by Matt Burkholz, The King of Bakelite. This is a rare bracelet and a wonderful find and I am fortunate to have acquired 2 of them and there are 2 offered in the store! The two bracelets actually coordinate with 2 brooch pins offered in the store as well! To inspect photos, simply click on the binocular icon on the top right corner of any photo.

Excellent condition, there is some light fading to the reverse carve floral paint. The bracelet fits up to a 7 1/2" wrist (although snug) and measures 1 1/8" wide and weighs 41 grams. A truly lovely and rare book piece for your bakelite or vintage jewelry collection. Although not impacting the aesthetics, there are a few very light scratches. (Inventory Reference Q-021819-#1-A)

This jewelry comes from a dear friend and a truly exceptional lady. While having an antique shop, she has collected these unsigned and signed designer pieces for the last 40 years and has an incredibly discerning eye for quality as well as uniqueness. The extensive nature of her collection has meant that she has not worn most pieces more than once.

It is my distinct pleasure that she has chosen to pass her extensive collection on to me. I am in the process of acquiring her complete collection and know that I will be keeping some special pieces for myself. I will also be offering some for sale and please know that with each piece comes a wonderful legacy of a very special lady that makes this jewelry all the more special.

Her collection includes some of the most desirable designers; Boucher, Carnegie, Ciner, DeLizza and Elster (aka Juliana), Eisenberg, Haskell, Hobe, Lane, Philippe for Trifari, Schreiner, Schiaiparelli, Vendome, and Weiss as well as Coro, Coventry, Kramer, Krementz, Lisner, and Trifari.

Numerous pieces are book pieces and many had matching pieces so many demi-parures are available. I acquired so much of this jewelry that I will be working on offering it in the store for years to come.

There are additional antique and vintage necklaces, brooches, and earrings in the Designer, Necklaces, Pendant, Earrings, as well as the Bakelite, Lucite, and Other Plastics Studio Categories.

There are also other antique and vintage costume and plastic jewelry (bakelite, lucite, celluloid, and figurals), collectibles, books, art, glass, china, kitchen, home decor, and retro pieces in the store.
