       CHECK OUT THE SELLER'S STORE FOR QUICK WINDOW SHOPPING OF MORE GREAT VINTAGE GALALITH & EARLY PLASTIC  JEWELRY ITEMS!! 

        I now have a lovely selection of 1930's Genuine Galalith Necklaces now offered in my Store, please take a moment to look them over!
 Each piece is tested & guaranteed genuine Galalith.

     Galalith is an early 1920's - 1940's plastic from Europe.
Very similar to phenolic bakelite in that it must be carved or machined.
      This necessary hand working creates pieces with the charm and intricacy found in bakelite that is not found in modern costume jewelry or modern plastics.
Galalith often has colors & the weight that is similar to Bakelite.
It is often confused for other early plastic materials. 
       Galalith as a material is far more rare in North America than bakelite,
as its production into jewelry was from Europe, most pre war.
Galalith can be hot water tested very easily for its distinctive odor.
Exceptional color effects can be found in Galalith as well as the more common white that is resin washed with a myriad of colors.
..............................................

A truly rare, early - mid 1930's, very long length Galalith necklace.
The color is a divine Honeysuckle / Pineapple Yellow with a fabulous & subtle glow.
The color is very consistent, with a slight translucency.
                A very rare set of chunky graduated Galalith beads, the largest bead being well over 3/4 inch in diameter.
Length is a stunning 33 inches from end to end.
The simple inset wire clasp is still functioning smoothly.
Cordage is all original cotton & still very strong.
Condition of these gorgeous & luminous beads is simply excellent.
Over all - an easy rival for any piece of amber or bakelite.

Exceptionally well made and still a stunner 70 - 80 years later !
