Polished Bakelite



Bakelite. The colors, the sound, the weight. What is not to love?

Polished Bakelite in Champagne, Navy Blue, Pink and Red

We didn't set out to change the face of Bakelite collecting. We don't claim that polished is superior to patinaed. We just set out to discover what it used to look like, and to expand the colors in one single collection through the process of restoration. Suddenly, there was Brighter Bakelite. We love it, and found that a lot of other people do, too. No wonder so much Bakelite was made! It came in every color of the rainbow, and could be matched with every ensemble.

It has been a lot of fun, and a very interesting journey. This blog will talk about a lot of different aspects of Bakelite, polished bakelite, identification. But for now - we just want to show off some of the amazing colors we have discovered over the last six months.

  1. you have inspired me with your love of bakelite! I have been scouring opportunity stores in search of bakelite jewellery. I am not quite skilled at telling the difference yet though... but some pieces I have found I am certain are bakelite. The bangles featured here are quite beautiful!

  6. В 2023 году ссылки подлинно предусматриваются и встанут продолжать предусматриваться сколько нужно ссылок для продвижения сайта. Но они с незапамятных времен пресекли быть почвой ранжирования страничек вебсайта в выдаче. Google применяет полный подход, интерес эти предпосылки:
