Bakelite is a castable, fire resistant plastic that was invented by Leo Baekeland in 1909. Bakelite jewelry became especially popular in the 1930's and 1940's, as the available colours were increased. The newer colors available in bakelite inspired many jewelry designers and creators. Originally bake-lite was used for industrial purposes. But the jewellery designers of the time found this light weight inexpensive material perfect for bangle, bracelets, rings, bead jewelry and other fashion accessories. Bakelite is the trade name for the plastic product produced by the Bakelite Corporation. Bakelite jewellery is now highly collectable and vintage antique designer fashion jewelry can reach high prices. Lucite jewellery can sometimes resemble Bake-lite but genuine bakelite items will feel much heavier than lucite items. |
