This is GORGEOUS!!!!! RARE! Vintage Honey colored Carved Apple Juice Bakelite Bangle Bracelet. Size: 2 1/2" in diameter , 7/8 wide Date: 1930's Material: Bakalite Condition: Very good/Used Brief History Lesson: Bakelite jewelry was most popular during the Art Deco period, which began in 1909 and lasted until the 1940s. These pieces were created as costume jewelry, as a way to dress up clothing or an outfit without spending a lot of money. Dr. Leo Bakeland invented Bakelite in the early 1900s. Bakeland discovered that the material would cool quickly and wouldn’t melt, regardless of the temperatures. He took out a patent on the idea in 1907. The material was heated to a melting point and then poured into molds and sheets to create the different pieces. Many companies stopped using Bakelite in the early 1940s as the need for World War II related products took hold. By the end of the War, new technologies in the world of plastics had made Bakelite obsolete.
