FAQs

Bakelite, an early form of synthetic plastic, gained immense popularity during the Art Deco period of the 1920s and 1930s due to its versatility, rich colours, and ability to be moulded or faceted into bold geometric shapes.

These pieces typically combine carved or faceted synthetic resin drops mounted with precious metals such as 9-carat gold hooks, settings, or caps, reflecting the periods blend of industrial materials with traditional jewellery craftsmanship.

Authentic pieces can often be identified through testing methods such as the simichrome polish test, warm water scent test, or by observing specific patination, weight, and seam characteristics consistent with early 20th-century manufacturing.

These statement accessories pair effectively with both contemporary minimalist outfits and vintage-inspired ensembles, adding a distinct splash of saturated colour and architectural geometry to the look.

Preserve the material by storing pieces away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, and cleaning gently with a soft, damp cloth.
