The Bakelite has been lacquered, so chemical tests will not work on it. It does pass the hot water test.
This vintage 1930s–1940s Art Deco dress clip features bi-color Bakelite in a beautiful apple green to brown gradient, accented with clear rhinestone chatons. The rectangular geometric shape, color contrast, and sparkling stones give it a classic Deco-era look.
Dress clips were made to be worn on necklines, collars, lapels, hats, scarves, handbags, or dress straps, making this a versatile collectible piece of vintage costume jewelry.
