Vintage bakelite beads "Honeymoon", France.
Bakelite is an artificial material, which was invented by physicist Leo Backland in the early 20th century (patented in 1909).
This material is not precious, but has a special antique status. The bakelite is called the first man-made polymer – phenolic resin. The name received from the inventor Lakeland, who got a patent on this development back in 1909. And then off we go: Industrialists began to use the substance for their own purposes, and jewelers and designers in their. Popular bakelite was in the twenties of the last century and later was in great demand.
