Vintage 1930s Genuine Cherry Red Bakelite Art Deco Bead Necklace

Vintage 1930s Cherry Red Bakelite Necklace Tested Genuine Art Deco Jewelry

This striking vintage 1930s Bakelite necklace features large glossy cherry red beads measuring approximately 26.9 mm each. The strand measures approximately 36 cm when attached, with an overall full length of approximately 72 cm, creating a bold and elegant statement profile that drapes beautifully when worn.

The necklace has tested positive for genuine Bakelite using Simichrome testing, confirming it as an authentic early phenolic resin piece. Its rich cherry red to coral tone and luminous high-gloss finish beautifully capture the vibrant aesthetic associated with the Art Deco and early mid-century eras.

Each bead displays the subtle surface character and natural ageing typical of hand-polished vintage Bakelite, while the necklace is completed with an ornate vintage fish-hook clasp consistent with period craftsmanship, likely of West German origin.
