Bakelite Green Marble Bangle Bracelet $15.00

These white plastic simulated marble earrings are about 1 1/4" square.  The back clip is brass with no markings.  They are sparkly and fun.  They were probably made in the late 1940's.  They would be a great addition to your vintage earring collection.  Great large plastic earrings.  "Tortoise" color and black.  Clipback.  2 1/4" X 4"  Initially I thought this was a true tortoise shell necklace with silver, but the style of the clasp is not reminiscent of the Victorian era. For a short period between 1925 and 1930 manufacturers used celluloid coupled with a silver overlay in jewelry creations. The silver doesn't always hold up the best on these pieces, but this choker is in very good condition, with no sign of wear or pealing. The fine silvertone chain closes with a ring and hook with a total length of 15.25 inches.  How the Mod generation of the 60s loved large pendant necklaces and Lucite plastic jewelry! This piece has it all. This happy elephant is molded from a transparent tea color Lucite with grooved detailing that has been enameled in black. He's adorned with chrome headdress, tuck, tail, and a blanket which is accented with rhinestones. The silver-tone chain is 24 inches with a C ring closure, and the pendant is 2.75" by 2.5 inches.

Lucite Elephant Pendant with Rhinestones $49.00

Celluloid loop design earrings.  Pink, yellow, red, blue.  Screwback.  1"  This is a great necklace!  Red and butterscotch colored plastic.  Deco sautoir style.  The necklace measures 28" and the drop is 3 1/2" x 1 1/4"  Teal discs of plastic make up this necklace which is 22" long.  The closure is in the shape of a flower and could be worn as the feature in the front.  I believe it is from the early 1940's.  There are no markings that I can find but it appears to be well made.  The gold findings are bright and shiny.  This 1980s post-modern pin displays a graphic black, gray and violet composition in layers of Lucite acrylic to make the artisan's vision a wearable artwork.


The rectangle measure 1 1/4" by 7/8" and seals the bold print with overlaid individual triangles between an opaque white back layer and a crystal transparent front layer--held with four tiny rivets. Such painstaking effort!


The pin secures with a C clasp and is held by a sleek tube.  Condition is very fine.


Get on the grid in style and feel free to "hang" this modern art at any angle you choose!

Bakelite Cameo Brooch Great Detail Gift $145.00

Pretty 2 1/8" long molded flower pin. Very good.  1 5/8" wide, some green plastic beads have glitter others have gold cats eye affect.  Unusual Lucite confetti with rich gold tone leaf motif bracelet and earring set. Each cabochon has a purple base that is topped with clear Lucite with off white shell like bits and golden confetti floating throughout. The Lucite gives the cabochons a plum color which proved to be impossible to capture in the photos. The first photo is the true color of the metal work, and the second photo is the closest I could get to the cabochons. The bracelet has a fold over clasp and is just over seven inches, and the clip earrings are one inch. Comparable price elsewhere would be $150, so don't let this deal slip by.  WONDERFUL!  these were purchased by myself about 25 years ago from the original local Atlanta Ga native's vintage jewelry collection.  Never offered in my store before now!  Keepers!
