$375 USDFabulous Vintage Bakelite Lipstick Dress Clip --- Rare!

Jewelry:Vintage:Bakelite:Figural:Lipstick

An outstanding find! Wonderful figural dress clip in the shape of a black lipstick container with fire-engine-red lipstick. In eleven years of bakelite buying, I've seen only three of these. This clip is guaranteed vintage. Measures approximately 2 inches by 1/2 inch (see photos of digital caliper). Excellent vintage condition with age-appropriate wear. On one side, two hairline cracks run on either side of the brass band around the middle: I photographed these at an angle to be clearly visible ...

$435 USDRare Pumpkin Design Vintage Bakelite Clips --- Pair

Jewelry:Vintage:Bakelite:Prystal:Carved:Clip:Leaves:Pumpkin:Figural

Super hard-to-find book piece! Background leaves are carved from creamed-spinach bakelite (vivid green with yellow swirls), and a high-relief carved pumpkin design in rootbeer transparent bakelite (or prystal) is riveted on top of the leaves. Whimsical figural bakelite. Clips can be worn on shoes, or at the edges of jacket lapels, or on either side of the "V" of a dress or blouse, or on a sleeve right over the wrist (in place of a bracelet). They also can individualize a hat, scarf, or purse! ...

$3,500 USDRare Vintage Bakelite Orange Beveled Bowtie Bangle Bracelet

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Bakelite:Bowtie:Bangle:Bracelet

A beautiful example of "the best of the best" in vintage bakelite jewelry. Bowtie bangles are rare as hen's teeth, and the ones with beveled edges even more so. Bowtie bangles are pictured in all the bakelite jewelry books. Inner diameter is the standard vintage 2 and 1/2 inches. Width is 1/2 inch. Condition is excellent, with a few tiny holes (filling defects from time of manufacture, pretty commonly found in random dot and bowtie bangles) and normal scratches and signs of wear for a true ...

$375 USDVintage Bakelite Patriotic Victory Brooch

Jewelry:Vintage:Early Plastics:Bakelite:Patriotic:Carved

Fantastic piece of history! Genuine patriotic brooch from the forties, World War II era. A huge "V" for victory carved from red bakelite hangs from a bar of red, white, and blue bakelite, with a central brass U.S. eagle seal. The white bakelite has aged to a "cream corn" yellow patina, and the blue has darkened with age almost to black. Perfect for July 4 celebrations! Measures just under 2 inches wide by almost 3 inches long. Nice and chunky! Guaranteed vintage 1940s bakelite. Tested with ...

$106 USD Offers ConsideredVintage Chinese Carved Carnelian Leaf Necklace

Jewelry:Vintage:Ethnic, Tribal:Chinese:Carnelian:Carved Stone

Lovely lightweight necklace featuring a hand-carved leaf of carnelian strung on a simple cord with carnelian and wooden beads. I bought this myself in Hong Kong at a shop that sold only products made in mainland China, 24 years ago. The necklace length can be short or long by adjusting the ends of the cord passing through a single bead at the top. Simple and elegant! It's time to treat yourself!

$35 USDVintage Monet Gold-Tone Vase Clip / Tussie Mussie

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Boutonniere:Monet

Charming vintage (circa late fifties/early sixties) clip in the shape of a round vase. It is hollow and designed to hold water and a small bouquet or sprig of green. Can also hold an artificial flower or other ornament. A great way to wear a flower that will last all day! Condition is good for its age. Overall dotting of tiny spots (tarnish?), hardly noticeable when worn (but photographed closely so you can see). Some darkening of the interior of the vase mouth, probably from previous water use. ...

Sweet heart charm with a central flower leaves, and scalloped border. Standard size, stamped sterling on back, hand-engraved "Gladys" with tiny flourish underneath.

$275 USDVintage Mexican Sterling Angel with Candle Brooch by Los Castillo

Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Mexican:Figural:Angel:Candle

Charming brooch for Christmas or any religious occasion! From the renowed Los Castillo taller, this classic design of an angel holding a candle, its little head slightly bowed. I've seen this in one of the reference books on vintage Mexican silver jewelry, but cannot remember which one. The brooch is sterling silver, and the flame of the candle is copper. The patina is undisturbed, but the copper flame of the candle could be polished a bit to show the copper color. Delightful! Measures ...

$275 USDVintage Sterling Hand with Flowers Brooch - Wearing Snake Bracelet

Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Mourning:Hand:Snake

Amazing large sterling silver brooch with a classic Victorian mourning design: a lady's hand holding a spray of wheat (harvest of ripened grain motif) and a flower. A design often depicted in antique vulcanite or gutta percha jewelry. But this brooch features the added detail of a snake coiled around the wrist! Fantastic! This brooch was sold to me as Victorian, but the safety pinback suggest it was made later; I can't be sure, but would guess 1940s to 1980s. Whenever it was made, it's a ...
