FAQs

Bakelite is an early type of synthetic plastic invented in 1907 by Leo Baekeland, which became immensely popular for jewellery and household items during the Art Deco and mid-century eras.

These pieces typically feature moulded or turned synthetic resin beads strung on durable cord or thread, often with hand-carved details and traditional knotted spacing between elements.

Authentic pieces can often be identified through specific tests such as the simichrome polish test, a distinct sound when tapped, or a characteristic odour when warmed gently by friction.

Vintage necklaces can be displayed on decorative stands as sculptural objects of interest within a room or worn to add a pop of historical colour to contemporary outfits.

Store pieces away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, clean gently with a soft damp cloth, and avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals, perfumes, or ultrasonic cleaners.
