The first comment to be made on this great bracelet is
about its color:  It's actually a brilliant red-orange, more
so than the photos would indicate - a bright persimmon
shade.  As you can see, it's marvelously swirled with a
lighter orange shade - 'marvelously' because these
swirls are quite eye-catching and perhaps this bracelet's
very best feature.  It's chunky in appearance and
measures 3/4" in height, with an interior diameter of 2
1/2", and is a full 1/4" thick.  Although at first glance it may
appear to be a slice bracelet (meaning a bracelet which
looks, literally, like it was sliced from a tube), this one
actually has lightly rounded edges which gives it a nicer,
finished look.  In excellent condition and tests positive
with Simichrome.

Beautiful carved Bakelite bangle bracelet in a luscious
caramel color.  Imagine one of those old-fashioned Kraft
caramel candies - how yummy they look as you peel the
cellophane off of one - and you will understand the
richness and depth of this bracelet's color.  In excellent
vintage condition, it measures 1/2" in height, has an
interior diameter of 2 1/2 inches, and tests positive with
Simichrome.

This Bakelite cuff bracelet is a real kick in the pants!  It's a
bright, true cherry red which fits securely on the wrist, is
one inch wide, and test positive with Simichrome polish.  
It's a mere 1/8" in thickness which means that, though it's
certainly an attention-getter, it won't get in the way of your
everyday activities in the manner a regular bangle
bracelet might.

Very striking deep orange carved Bakelite bangle, in very
good condition.  This pretty piece came to us with a very
dull, flat finish and the exterior of the bangle has since
been polished with Simichrome.  The bangle's interior
has been left as-is in case the purchaser wishes to test
the bracelet on their own; otherwise, we would be happy
to polish the inside as well.  This bracelet has an interior
diameter of 2 1/2 inches and measures 3/4 inches in
height.  Tests positive with Simichrome.

This is a rich, bright red Bakelite bangle which is
ever-so-lightly swirled here and there with a lighter
shade.  Actually, the swirling effect is so subtle that you're
apt to miss it unless you look closely.  This bangle could
easily pass for a solid red.  We've tried to take a closer
photo of some of the swirling (see second photo) so you
can get an idea of what we're talking about.  Measuring
not-quite a half inch in height and 1/4" thick, this bangle
has a nicely curved outer side, an inner diameter of 2 1/2
inches, test positive with Simichrome and is in very good
condition.

Very pretty set of matching red-orange swirled Bakelite
spacer bracelets, in very good condition.  These little
gems measure 1/8" in thickness and 1/4" from inner
edge to outer edge with an inner diameter of 2 1/2
inches.  In other words, they are the true, narrow spacer
bracelets.  We've taken three photos to show you the
pretty marbling effect present on these pieces which, by
the way, test positive with Simichrome polish.

This is a great set of two matching orange Bakelite
bangle slice bracelets.  Their color is very slightly darker

persimmon but not quite.  Both are in very good condition
and both test positive with Simichrome polish.

Patriotic red, white and blue set of Bakelite bangle
bracelets. Each measures 1/4" in thickness and height.  
The red is a little darker in person than the photos
indicate - think more of a true cherry red rather than the
slightly tomato red as shown.  The blue bracelet is a true,
deep blue as shown.  Both the red and blue bracelets
test positive with Simichrome polish, however we could
not get a definitive positive test on the white bracelet and
this is reflected in our pricing of this set.  In excellent
condition.

Classically styled root beer/mock tortoise Bakelite bangle
bracelet.  This gem is in very good condition and nicely
finished with a slightly rounded edge which saves it from
being merely a slice of Bakelite and provides a little bit of
sophistication too.  As with most root beer and mock
tortoise Bakelite, this bangle seems to give back a warm,
inviting glow as it catches the light.  It measures 15/16" in
height and nearly 1/4" in thickness with an inner diameter
of 2 1/2 inches.  Tests positive with Simichrome.

widest point, which tapers to a thickness of approximately
1/8 inch.   The color is a pretty red-orange persimmon
shade.  It measures 2 1/2 inches in diameter, 3/4 inch in

Pretty brownish/burgundy Bakelite bangle bracelet in
good condition.  Shows only minor scuffing to its finish
(not evident at first glance) which isn't undue wear
considering its age and the type of jewelry but it should
be mentioned nevertheless.  Tests positive with 409 and

a curved outer side and an inner diameter of 2 1/2 inches.

inch from inner edge to outer edge and is 7/16 inch thick

good condition

Unusual carved Bakelite bangle bracelet.  This bracelet
varies in thickness; at the top and bottom edge it's
translucent & a light root beer in color.  In the center,
where the Bakelite is the thickest, it's a brown color with
the slightest tinge of green.  In excellent vintage condition
& passes the 409 test.  Measures 1/2 inch high & has an
inner diameter of 2 1/2 inches.  Although it appears small
in person, the diameter measurement is standard.  I
have medium wrists but fairly large hands and it fits fine.  
By the way, my husband informs me that, technically, this
bracelet is 'machined' and not 'carved.'  For our
information
:).

28" Bakelite slice necklace on gold tone chain.  There are
four colors altogether - all marbled:  butterscotch, bright
green, avocado green and pumpkin.  All test positive with
409.  Vintage unknown but definitely more contemporary
than what we're used to seeing, based upon the
brightness of the gold tone chain and the thin slices of
Bakelite (each measuring a little under 1 1/4" in length
with a thickness of approximately 1/4 inch).  In very good
condition.

Twenty six inch Bakelite slice necklace, in very good

barrel clasp and test positive with 409.
