Little girls everywhere have plastic bracelets in their jewelry boxes, but we big girls aren’t content with just any ol’ plastic. No, we want the real deal and that means vintage Bakelite.
Just look at today’s VPOD. These two vintage Bakelite bracelets are simply extraordinary. It’s hard to chose a favorite between the cream and brown bowtie pattern and the marbled brown with dots. And stacked together, boy do they pack a whollop!
Of course, this sophisticated, highly collectible jewelry also carries a big girl price tag.
And they’re rare finds for a vintage fashionista!
Available at Bakelite Boutique.

Bakelite, like many scientific finds, was discovered by accident in 1907 by a chemist, Dr. Leo Baekeland. Often called “the material of a thousand uses,” Bakelite was used by Thomas Edison for his gramaphone records, on many luxury ocean liners and, of course, to create some outstanding vintage jewelry.
Today’s VPOD features a trio of faceted Bakelite bangles in juicy colors of lemon, cranberry and lime. The one-inch wide sparkling cuffs are quite substantial and, while each one could be worn alone, they certainly pack a punch when worn together!
They are highly collectible treasures for a vintage fashionista!
