$169.00
Glowing with exceptional cherry red translucency, this genuine vintage Bakelite bangle captures the rich internal warmth and luminous color that have made translucent phenolic bracelets among the most sought-after examples of vintage plastic jewelry. Its timeless domed profile and beautifully saturated color create an elegant statement of mid-century design, while natural light reveals a remarkable fiery glow that seems to illuminate the bracelet from within.
Expertly crafted from genuine vintage Bakelite, the bracelet features a smooth rounded profile with no unnecessary ornamentation, allowing its extraordinary translucency and vibrant cherry red color to become the focal point. As light passes through the phenolic resin, the bracelet develops a warm internal glow with brilliant orange highlights along the lower edge, giving it exceptional depth and visual presence from every angle. Whether worn alone as a minimalist statement piece or stacked with other vintage Bakelite bracelets, its clean sculptural form makes it endlessly versatile.
The bracelet measures approximately 3 3/8 inches in outside diameter with an approximately 2 9/16-inch inside diameter and is approximately 5/8 inch wide with a substantial 3/8-inch wall thickness that provides the satisfying weight and presence collectors appreciate while remaining comfortable for everyday wear. It has tested positive with Simichrome, confirming genuine vintage Bakelite construction. The bracelet retains an attractive glossy finish with only light vintage wear. A small group of minor scuffs is present along one interior wall. These are difficult to notice during wear and have been taken into account when pricing the piece.
Translucent cherry red remains one of the most recognizable and enduring colors in vintage Bakelite, prized by collectors for its remarkable light transmission, warm internal glow, and versatility in both minimalist styling and layered bracelet stacks. With its authentic Bakelite construction, classic domed silhouette, generous proportions, and exceptional luminous color, this beautiful bracelet is equally suited for a serious Bakelite collection or as a timeless statement piece for everyday vintage fashion.
