Carved Philadelphia Colors Bakelite Clamper Bracelet This is a lovely little bracelet that I've laminated using five of the commonly used colors of Philadelphia style bracelets, marbled yellow, red, green and orange with black. The clamper is a bit smaller inner diameter than most of my creations, with a side to side measurement of a bit under 2 & 1/2 inches, top to bottom of 2 & 1/8. The bracelet is made so that the hinge and opening will position at the sides of the wrist. The spring hinge is a "new previously unused" vintage component with a stout hinge and attached with rivets. My signature and the date are inscribed upon the inner surface.
Awesome Philadelphia Style Bakelite Clamper Bracelet This is a very lovely Philadelphia Style Clamper bracelet that I've carved and constructed using a very rare vintage lipstick pink bracelet base. This color will eventually oxidize to more of an orangey pink but it will always be a very lovely color one one that is very rare to find in a Philly clamper. The fins on top of the bracelet are all vintage marbled Bakelites, yellow, red, green, orange and a blue mixed with black. This is a bracelet to make others envious. The inner diameter is 2 & 1/2 inches from side to side and 1 & 7/8 from top to bottom. The spring hinge is a very nice sturdy new brass component attached with rivets. The walls are very nice and thick, 1/4 inch at the thinnest points. The width of the walls is 1 inch at the hinge, gently getting a bit wider to 1 & 1/8 at the fins. My signature and the date are inscribed on the inner surface. Price....$1000.00
Gorgeous Chunky Thick Red Bakelite Roses Bracelet This is a bracelet that I've carved to mimic the style of vintage cinnabar carvings. The design is a very detailed and realistic pattern of roses on a leafy vine. Carving this piece took quite a bit of time and care. The bracelet has very nice chunky walls 1/2 of an inch thick and a bit over 1 inches wide. The inner diameter is 2 & 9/16 inches. My signature and the date are inscribed upon the inner surface. Price....$500.00
Carved Bakelite Strawberries Bracelet This is a very special bracelet indeed, and one that took quite some time and effort to construct. The design is a lovely repeat pattern of 3 sets of 3 strawberries, all inlaid into the surface of the bracelet using a marbled red Bakelite. The green Bakelite base is carved into leaves and stems, and is a darker color inside the bracelet than on the outer surface. The carving and detail on this bangle are very nice and this is a one of a kind bracelet that will only increase in value over the years. The inner diameter is 2 & 1/2 inches, the walls are 1 & 1/2 inches wide and about 3/8 of an inch thick. My signature and the date are inscribed upon the inner surface.
Carved Translucent Green Peapods & Vines Bracelet Now here is a lovely bracelet that I've carved from vintage emerald green Bakelite. The Bakelite has some swirls of lighter colors in it but for the most part is a nice deep translucent green. The design is one that I've carved one other bracelet similar to and consists of a repeated pattern of peapods hanging on a vine that winds it's way over the surface of the bracelet. The inner diameter is 2 & 1/2 inches and the walls are 1 & 1/4 inches wide, over 1/4 inch thick. The carving is nice and deeply detailed, which the pictures do not do justice to. My signature and the date are inscribed on the inner surface.
Reverse Carved Apple Juice Bakelite Stretch Bracelet This very elegant stretch bracelet is one that I've constructed of vintage apple juice and black Bakelite. The focal point of the bracelet is a nice big front of apple juice that I've reverse carved with a floral design consisting of yellow flowers with gold centers, leaves and twigs with black berries. The inner diameter of the bracelet is the standard 2 & 1/2 inches which I would be happy to make smaller by removing a set of beads and black spacer if the buyer prefers. The apple juice front piece measures right at 3 inches along the outside curve, and 1 inch wide. I inscribed my signature and the date on the inner surface of one of the black spacers. Price...$750.00
Carved & Inlaid Bakelite Beach Scene Bracelet Here is a very unique bracelet that I've carved in a beach scene design. There are lots of different inlays on this bracelet of things found on a beach, a sand pail and shovel, starfish, beach ball, sea shell, umbrella & blanket, and a surfboard stuck into the sand as well. Carved into the surface of the bracelet are a trail of foot prints leading to a sand castle. I used enamel paints to color the footprints and some other details. The inner diameter of the bracelet is 2 & 9/16 inches, the walls are 1 & 1/4 inches wide and a bit over 1/4 inch thick. I inscribed my signature and the date on the inner surface. The base of the bracelet is a nice sandy yellow-white with swirls in it.
