Rare Vintage & Collectibles
Individually tested vintage Bakelite and Catalin jewellery — bangles, necklaces, brooches and loose beads in butterscotch, cherry amber (cherry red), egg yolk, and marbled green. Every piece is Simichrome tested and offered as a single acquisition, with weights and measurements listed so collectors can verify density and authenticity.
Genuine 1920s–1940s Bakelite and Catalin is increasingly scarce, and heavy Art Deco bead necklaces in original condition are among the most sought-after pieces in vintage costume jewellery. Our collection includes graduated faceted cherry Bakelite necklaces from the 1920s, chunky butterscotch barrel bead strands, and tested bangle sets. We never sell French Bakelite (galalith) or modern resin as Bakelite — what's described is what you receive.
