| A truly rare find, this 1935 vintage bakelite cherries parure includes a tassled long necklace, a double strand bracelet, clipback button earrings – and is a required addition to any serious bakelite collection! (The 1935 cherries Jubilee necklace can be found in Dee Battle's Best of Bakelite on page 118, and Necklace and bracelet found both in Schiffer's Plastic Jewelry book page 91). This set has several chunky bakelite double cherries and green celluloid leaves, attached to the jelly red link chains. The closures and clips are all old brass metal. The clip earrings are 1 inch and have a carved design. The double strand bracelet has 6 leaves and 4 pairs small cherries and 3 pairs large cherries. 1 large cherry is broken off/missing, and 1 small cherry is missing. It can adjust up to 8 inches. The necklace has all 14 leaves, and all 7 pairs of small cherries, and out of 5 pairs of large cherries, 3 are missing 1. However, these are all located in the bottom tassel clusters so not visible when worn (I also have the 3 loose broken off cherries). This is a hard to find set, and the original owner kept these special items together for all of these years! The necklace chain hangs down 14 inches when worn (total 28 inches) and the tassel bottom adds an additional 5.5 inches long when worn. |
