Unusual softly squared phenolic resin bracelet with broad flattened faces, rounded corners and substantial architectural profile for Bakelite collectors, stacking jewelry and vintage modernist jewelry collections.
$125.00
Distinctive Puka shaping gives this vintage creamed corn Bakelite bangle its bold sculptural presence. Unlike conventional round-profile bracelets, the Puka form features broad flattened surfaces flowing into softly rounded corners, creating a substantial geometric silhouette prized by collectors of unusual Bakelite jewelry. Simichrome tested to confirm authenticity, the bracelet displays the warm buttery yellow coloration traditionally described by collectors as creamed corn Bakelite, with a smooth polished finish that emphasizes its clean architectural form.
The unusual Puka profile creates changing planes of light and shadow as the bracelet turns on the wrist, giving the piece strong Art Deco and modernist appeal without relying on carved decoration. Measuring approximately 3 7/16 inches across its greatest outside diameter with a 2 1/2-inch inside diameter, the bangle is approximately 5/8 inch wide with a side wall reaching approximately 7/16 inch at its deepest point. Its substantial proportions make it striking worn alone while the warm yellow color pairs beautifully with other vintage Bakelite bangles for stacking.
Condition is very good vintage, with a smooth glossy finish and light surface wear consistent with careful use over the decades. The shaped edges remain crisp and the distinctive Puka silhouette is well defined. Less conventional than a standard round Bakelite bangle, this sculptural bracelet offers an appealing combination of collectible form, creamed corn coloration, substantial construction, and classic vintage phenolic jewelry character.
