    Description

    This GORGEOUS Vintage Bakelite bracelet is a 7/8" wide that has been restored to its original beautiful bright marbled end of day colors.
    There are shades of blue, green, white, orange,brown, grey, copper, custard and clear Bakelite in this AWESOME bangle. The bracelet has a three dimensional look due to the use of semi translucent and clear colored Bakelite and the way those multiple end of day colors blended together. In a word, the bracelet is breathtaking!!
    Over the years the patina had oxidized into a greenish yellow color, and the bracelet had accumulated a fair amount surface wear most of the differences in color had become obscured as the patina aged. (See photo #10 for pre-restoration color and results of Simichrome polish test)
    The bracelet has now been restored to its original end of day marbled colors, the surface wear removed, and looks stunning!!
    The bracelet weighs 29 grams and has a standard 2.5" interior diameter.
    NOTE: As part of the refurbishment process, surface dirt and the discoloration of the Bakelite that occurs as it oxidizes from exposure to sunlight is removed.
    Sunlight not only causes the color of the Bakelite to change, but sunlight also draws
    the chemical that reacts to the Simichrome polish in Bakelite to the surface. When testing with Simichrome polish, this chemical (pheno-formaldehyde) is what causes the chemical reaction that changes the pink color of the Simichrome polish to a nicotine yellow which indicates a positive result for Bakelite.
    So until the bracelet has been exposed to sunlight for some period of time, the bracelet will not test positive with Simichrome polish. However, this bracelet passes the hot water test for Bakelite with flying colors!!  There are no chips or cracks in the bracelet.
