GET IT BEFORE IT’S GONE!


Own a verified piece of 20th-century fashion history. This is a heavyweight, investment-grade Bakelite bracelet weighing a substantial 3.0 oz (85 grams). Crafted in the bold Art Deco style, it features 8 oversized "pie wedge" beads in a deeply marbled olive green with stunning internal "spinach" and "apple juice" patterns.


Documented Authenticity:

This piece has been rigorously authenticated through four distinct vintage markers:

1. Hand-Fabrication Evidence: Each bead shows parallel machining striations from being sliced from a solid rod. Most notably, one bead features a mis-drilled starter hole, a classic artisanal "error" that proves these were hand-worked and not modern injection-molded fakes.

2. Weight: At 85 grams, its density is consistent with high-grade phenolic resin, providing that sought-after, deep "clack" when tapped.

3. Positive Swab Test: A baking soda swab test yielded the bright yellow residue of 80+ years of natural oxidation.

4. Positive Scent Test: When warmed, the beads release the unmistakable medicinal/formaldehyde aroma unique to genuine Bakelite.


Condition:

Excellent vintage condition with a high-shine luster. The elastic is firm. The visible tooling marks and mis-drill on the inner faces are part of the original manufacturing process and confirm the piece's 1930s-1940s provenance.
