Vintage Art Deco Bakelite bangle 1930s gold-plated brass safety chain

Elegant original bangle from the late Art Deco era, circa 1935–1942.
Made of solid black Bakelite combined with gold-plated brass.
Brass was preferred at that time for its stability and malleability – a thin layer of gold, often fire gilding or electroplating, gave the piece of jewelry a luxurious shine.
The bangle features a precise hinge with a click closure and a fine safety chain.
Simple, wide design with timeless elegance – typical of the upscale cocktail and evening jewelry of the 1930s.
An authentic vintage collectible with history and character that is still stylishly wearable today.
