Looking for a vintage-inspired bangle without breaking the bank? Check out this 1990s palm tree carved plastic bangle! This thick, golden yellow bangle was designed to imitate vintage Bakelite bangles. While these fakes are a huge problem when passed off as actual Bakelite they are really cool pieces in their own right and have retro themes not seen in real vintage Bakelite, without the high price tag. This fakelite bangle is carved with a palm tree motif and between the trees are semicircular elements embellished with red paint.

This bangle comes from a private collection of vintage plastics and Bakelite, curated over 30 years by a New Orleans collector. Don't miss your chance to add this unique piece to your own collection!
