This wide, lightly swirled root beer/mock tortoise vintage
Bakelite bangle bracelet is just as pretty as it can be!  As
with most root beer or mock tortoise Bakelite, it seems to
give off a golden glow from within when it catches the
light.  Showing only minor, age-appropriate wear, it's in
very good vintage condition with a nice, deep shine to its
surface.  Measures 1" in height, approximately 3/16" in
thickness, with an interior diameter of 2 1/2 inches.  
Tests positive with Simichrome polish.

While these photos are an adequate representation this
lovely bracelet, they by no means do it justice.  This is a
thick, heavy, lusciously ruby red Bakelite bangle with
swirls and semi-transparent areas.  The color is actually
more of a true ruby red, with great richness and depth.  
We've taken three photos to show the wonderful swirling
effect which appears throughout the bracelet and the
smooth curving on the bracelet's sides.  The bracelet
measures 3/4" in height,  a full 3/8" in thickness and has
a inner diameter of 2 1/2 inches.  It's in excellent vintage
condition with a nice, glossy shine to it and tests positive
with Simichrome polish.

Classically styled carved butterscotch Bakelite bangle.  
Year in, year out...this bracelet will never be out of style.  
This is a true butterscotch color, without variation or
mottling.  Think of the old style Brach's butterscotch hard
candies and you'll understand the depth and richness of
color this bracelet has to offer.  It measures 3/4" in height
with a diameter of 2 1/2 inches.  In excellent condition
and tests positive with Simichrome polish.

This is a big, chunky & solid root beer/mock tortoise

warm, subtle glow.  This bracelet is a full inch in height
with a 2 1/2 inch diameter and measures over 1/4" in
thickness.  In very good vintage condition with only minor
scuffing to the bracelet's exterior (nothing more than
usual and expected wear, if that) and tests positive with

Item No. B213 - 'Red Licorice' Carved Bakelite Bangle
Bracelet - $92.00

This is a fun bracelet with an offbeat shape to it, done in
rich, creamy butterscotch Bakelite.  Unfortunately, this
bracelet does have a flaw which needs to be mentioned.  
It appears that a previous owner either dinged it up a bit
or tried to test for Bakelite in an unfortunate manner.  
Although the 'structural integrity' of the bracelet is not
compromised and it is continues to be quite wearable,
there are visible mars to the surface (see pics 3 and 5
please) made even more visible with the unforgiving eye
of our digital camera.  We have priced this otherwise nifty
bracelet accordingly.  This bracelet is 1/2" in helght with
thicknesses ranging from 1/4" to 1/2" and has an interior
diameter of 2 1/2 inches.  Tests positive with Simichrome.

Bakelite Bangle Bracelet - $58.00

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.

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
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
than the photo indicates - a full rich orange, almost
persimmon but not quite.  Both are in very good condition
and both test positive with Simichrome polish.

Bangle Bracelets - $42.00

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.
