Vintage Root Beer Bakelite Squared Oval Bangle Bracelet Simichrome Tested Translucent Phenolic Plastic Chunky Geometric Art Deco Streamline Moderne Jewelry

Glowing translucence and an uncommon squared oval silhouette distinguish this vintage root beer Bakelite bangle from more traditional rounded bracelets. Simichrome tested to confirm authenticity, the substantial bracelet reveals warm amber, cognac, honey, deep root beer, and chocolate-brown tones as light passes through the material, creating the rich depth and visual warmth prized by collectors of vintage Bakelite jewelry.

Four gently flattened sides shape the bracelet’s distinctive profile, with softly rounded transitions connecting each section for a smooth, comfortable fit. This geometric construction gives the bangle strong wrist presence while allowing the color to shift beautifully as it turns, moving from deep brown to luminous amber tones under changing light.

The bracelet measures approximately 3¼ inches in overall outside diameter, approximately 2⅞ inches across the flattened sides, and has an inside diameter of approximately 2½ inches. It is approximately 1 inch wide. The surface retains an attractive vintage polish with light wear consistent with careful age and use. No cracks or structural issues were found.

Its substantial proportions, translucent root beer coloration, and uncommon four-sided form make this a distinctive addition to collections of Bakelite bangles, vintage phenolic jewelry, geometric bracelets, early plastics, and Mid Century costume jewelry.
