Vintage 1/8" Octagon Bakelite Bracelet! Beautiful Bright Neon Green Color!

Description

This Vintage Bakelite bracelet is a rare 1/8" wide octagon shaped bangle. It has been restored to its original beautiful bright neon green color.
Over the years the patina had oxidized into an olive green color and there was a good deal of surface wear (See photo #10 for pre-restoration color and results of simichrome polish test.
The bracelet has now been restored to its original bright green color, the surface wear removed and the bracelet looks fantastic!!
The bracelet weighs 30 grams and has a standard 2.5" interior diameter.
NOTE: As part of the refurbishment process, surface dirt and the discoloration of the Bakelite that occurs as it oxidizes from exposure to sunlight is removed.
Sunlight not only causes the color of the Bakelite to change, but sunlight also draws the chemical that reacts to the Simichrome polish in Bakelite to the surface. When testing with Simichrome polish, this chemical (pheno-formaldehyde) is what causes the chemical reaction that changes the pink color of the Simichrome polish to a nicotine yellow which indicates a positive result for Bakelite.
So until the bracelet has been exposed to sunlight for some period of time, the bracelet will not test positive with Simichrome polish. However, this bracelet passes the hot water test for Bakelite with flying colors!!  There are no chips or cracks in the bracelet.
