This striking Bakelite bangle features a black resin wash or overdye, applied over the original yellow Bakelite. The bangle was then cutback with repeating notch carvings to reveal the yellow underneath. The contrast of colors is incredibly chic. This is top notch piece, that I purchased from another collector.
The bangle measures 5/8" wide x 3/16" thick, with a standard 2 1/2" opening. Condition is excellent with just minimal surface wear. You can see in pic 5 where there is a tiny fleabite, revealing the yellow underneath. It barely looks like a dot in person.
The yellow inside Bakelite tests positive with Simichrome. I tested it with great care, but will remind you here that this type of bangle should not be cleaned with Simichrome or any other kind of solvent. It will ruin the resin wash.
