This Art Deco necklace dates from 1930 and displays amber-coloured Bakelite elements in tones of toffee and honey, combined with chrome accents. The design incorporates a bar link chain fitted with a lobster claw clasp, complemented by geometric beads, ribbed metal spacers, and a prominent cylindrical central bead at the front. The metals exhibit a bright polished finish alongside alternating spherical and flattened disc beads arranged along the lower section. The necklace measures 45 cm deep. Such a piece works well for day or evening wear, resting just above the cleavage when placed around the neck. The construction brings together metallic and synthetic components suitable for personal ornamentation. The items involved maintain their structural integrity without tarnishing or visible damage to the Bakelite surfaces.

FAQs

Art Deco jewellery of the 1930s was characterised by geometric shapes, streamlined forms, and the bold integration of modern industrial materials alongside traditional metals. Plastics such as Bakelite were frequently paired with polished chrome to create striking, avant-garde pieces that reflected modern machine age design.

Bakelite, a synthetic phenolic resin, was cast into blocks and carved, turned, or polished into geometric beads and components. These resin elements were typically mounted onto chromium-plated metal chains or wire links, offering a reflective metallic contrast to the coloured material.

Authentic Bakelite pieces lack mold lines because they were individually carved or machine-turned rather than injection molded. Testing methods include checking for a distinct chemical scent when rubbed vigorously, or observing a specific colour transfer reaction when tested with specialised polishing compounds.

A geometric 1930s necklace serves as a defined focal point against minimalist contemporary garments, such as a plain dark turtleneck, a crisp white shirt, or a tailored jacket. The structured metallic links and warm resin tones add historical contrast to modern outfits.

Keep Bakelite away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and harsh chemicals to prevent discolouration and surface degradation. Clean gently using a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid submersion that could compromise the metal joins or dull the polish of the resin.
