Antique Art Nouveau Bakelite necklace pendant butterfly moth green 1920s carved

  

This rare piece of jewellery has been carved from warm green Bakelite, in Art Nouveau style. It depicts a moth or butterfly on a leaf, with inlaid mother of pearl spots on its wings. The pendant part is quite large at 7cm or 3 in diameter. The pendant is suspended by a carved ring, from a 40cm 15 3/4, copper coloured, bar link chain, with long rectangular pieces of Bakelite in it.

Very'guest on the Titanic' vibes! Despite it being over 100 years old, this necklace is eminently wearable, and contemporary-looking! There are chips to one of the Bakelite links in the chain, but otherwise the condition is very good.
