| Samenvatting | With the newcomer to collecting in mind, Bakelite Jewelry provides a light-hearted introduction to this colorful subject, and is bursting as it is with an array of lively shapes and designs. A detailed account of the development of Bakelite is followed by a catalog of individual pieces, in which each member of the Bakelite jewelry family is taken in turn; bracelets, pins, neckwear, rings, and earrings. Specific points of interest are raised and you will learn how to recognize the different decorative styles and techniques that were popular throughout production; faceting, carving windows or scenes, geometries, reverse carving, polka dots, stripes, and the very desirable "end of day" where colors are combined to produce a multi-colored effect. There is invaluable advice on how to start your own collection. For instance, you can learn how to detect real Bakelite by smell, touch, and sound; there is a clear explanation of the distinction between old and newly-made Bakelite; and there are helpful instructions on how to care for your Bakelite. The author, a collector and dealer of many years' experience, maintains a perfect balance between an informative and a light-hearted approach and this is the very mainstay of Bakelite Jewelry. For although every would-be collector will want to know about the history, value and nature of a certain piece, there is a whimsical charm to all Bakelite jewelry, a charm which lures the collector in the first place. |
