Description: Vintage Bakelite Necklace This piece of vintage jewellery is in very good condition. The necklace features round beads of Bakelite in a rich dark russet amber colour with streaks of cherry amber colour. The strand has been threaded on fine wire thread and the clasp is a rolled gold bolt ring. The beads have tested positive for Bakelite with Simichrome polish showing a nicotine colour when rubbed. These beads are like no other we have seen before. As well as the streaking these also seem to have amber like inclusions. These are highly polished as can be seen and the inclusions appear right up to the surface. The beads are rounded but not perfectly so. There are surface fissures to 3 beads as seen, these are not cracks and do not go all the way through the beads. There is graduation with the largest bead at the front being 19mm x 19mm. The smallest bead to the back is 10mm x10mm. The strand is short and measures 350mm long and weighs 38gms. Please note this item is original and not a modern day reproduction. ..............................................................................................................................
