Product Details

This vintage Bakelite panel necklace is a striking example of Mid-Century Modern jewelry, likely dating from the 1940s to 1960s. The piece features a distinctive combination of translucent and opaque panels in classic Bakelite colors, including cherry juice red, butterscotch, and root beer brown. These large, curved rectangular panels are typical of Art Deco and MCM "collar" or "choker" styles. Design: A "Cleopatra" or collar style, characterized by graduated or uniform panels that sit flat against the body!
