The Art Deco era birthed new perceptions of beauty and revolutionized jewelry design, exemplified by this 1930s Machine Age necklace. Its charm lies in the dynamic silhouette and slinky feel, which showcase a visionary approach ahead of its time. Vivid cherry-red bakelite that dangles playfully makes for a bold, fashion-forward statement meant for trendsetters then and now. Bright patina with minimal surface wear to the setting. Fresh sheen, light surface wear, and no chipping on the bakelite. Bakelite was an important plastic that popularized the use of plastic in jewelry, largely because it was able to be mass-produced and still maintain a high quality. By the late 1930s it was a common material for costume jewelry. As the Great Depression raged, women found delight in the colorful and whimsical shapes created with Bakelite as well as its low cost. Bakelite feels heavy and solid in your hand compared to other vintage plastics because it has a dense and well-made quality. Often carved by hand, Bakelite forms its own collectible category: the more ornate the carving, unique the color, or fund the figural, the more collectible it can be. On the Machine-Age Movement. The machine age movement began in the United States after World War I, when there was an explosion of industry and technology including skyscrapers, automobiles, airplanes, and streamlined, metallic trains. Artists and jewelry makers, inspired by the newfangled aesthetics and Zeitgeist around this modern landscape, created machine age jewelry. These pieces featured the clean, efficient lines of machines and the sheen of metal. They allowed people to express with fashion the excitement of the modern age. _gsrx_vers_1608 GS 9.5 (1608).
