Please see the photographs, which are part of the description.
    Although Bakelite was the trade name of the first thermosetting phenolic resin, it was not the only one.  Other important trade or brand names include Catalin, Marblette, and Prystal.  Since brand names rarely appear on the products, collectors generally use "Bakelite" to refer to all of the thermosetting phenolic resins, not just to the Bakelite brand products.
    This set of Marblette bangles is one of those rare instances in which the name can be attributed to the actual brand name.
    I do not accept returns, so please ask questions prior to purchasing.  Please visit my Ebay store for more fabulous designer and vintage jewelry!
