I have been collecting Bakelite bits and pieces for years (I just love the look, feel and sound) and have begun concocting these
one of a kind
necklaces when I am pleased with a combination of bits. All the components (poker chips, buckles, buttons, mah-jongg coins, guitar picks, slides, tiddlywinks, etc.) are genuine to the 30's-40's and are Simichrome tested Bakelite. All the Bakelite has had a long life already as something else before it's new life as a spectacular necklace, so there will be some imperfections and wear...CALL IT PATINA! I
have
polished the pieces to reveal all that glorious color. Just think, the poker chips have been played with for 60-70 years since they were made. Oh, the stories they could tell ;0)!
This necklace would be an exceptional addition to your BAKELITE JEWELRY collection or a superb and truly ONE-OF-A-KIND accessory!
