popular Vintage Burgundy Wine Bakelite Carved Bangle

Bakelite is a castable, fire-resistant plastic that was invented by Leo Baekeland in 1909. It was originally used for industrial purposes until jewelry makers found that its light weight made Bakelite a perfect choice for designing and manufacturing inexpensive bracelets, rings, pins, and other jewelry.

We tested this piece with "Dow Scrubbing Bubbles" and it came out positive as Bakelite.
