Product Features

This to die for black bakelite and chrome Art Deco necklace was created in the Machine Age style. It features ten bakelite sections with geometric chrome pieces between them in a fringe bib or choker design. The pieces are strung on an elastic cord for flexibility and the chain is adjustable with a hook clasp. This necklace came in brown (most commonly seen), black, orange and green. It is shown in Popular Jewelry 1840-1940 by Roseann Ettinger 4th edition from 2010 on page 143 in brown with a value of $250-$350. This is the only black necklace I have found to date and a brown version recently sold on 1rst Dibs for $600.

Condition: Very good. There is expected surface scratching on the bakelite pieces and some plating loss on the chain which is seen on other necklaces so it appears to be expected over time. The chrome sections do not show that same wear. The original stretch cord was yellow colored and it was worn out due to age. It has been replaced with new black stretch cord so it may continue to be worn for many years to come.

Time period: circa 1930's
Materials: bakelite, chrome, plated metal, stretch cord.
Approx. measurements: Necklace is about 17 inches long but it is flexible and stretchy due to the cording. The bakelite sections are 2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide.
Designer: unknown
Markings/Signatures: none
Shipping: Ships quick in 0-1 business days in a free jewelry gift box for presentation.
