The design is delightfully off-kilter in the best way: the dots aren't evenly spaced, which adds to the handmade charm and makes this bangle feel like a little piece of wearable art. The band itself is thick and sturdy, measuring 3/8", with two wide sides (1”) and two narrow sides (½”) that give the bracelet a sculptural, modernist vibe. The result is an eye-catching, asymmetric look that sets it apart from typical round bangles.
This piece is in fantastic vintage shape, with all the charm and patina you'd expect from a well-loved mid-century treasure. Whether you’re a seasoned Bakelite collector or just starting your vintage jewelry journey, this one’s a keeper.
Styling Tips:
Let this bangle be the star of your stack—pair it with solid bangles in butterscotch, egg yolk, or deep plum to really bring out the contrast. It also looks amazing styled solo with a crisp white shirt or bold printed dress. Whether you're going full retro or adding a playful punch to a minimalist outfit, this piece delivers color, texture, and uniqueness in spades.

Maker History:
Bakelite took center stage in the 1930s through the 1950s as one of the first widely used plastics in fashion. Beloved for its color range, durability, and sculptural possibilities, it quickly became a go-to for bold jewelry design. Pieces like this one—unusual shapes, unexpected details, and handcrafted feel—represent the more artistic side of Bakelite production and are especially prized by collectors.
