Perhaps the most stunning and unique example of galalith we've uncovered to date, this rare art deco necklace features chunky swirled and stacked honeycomb beads in a striking multicolor design. Galalith, a casein based plastic derived from milk also known as French Bakelite , was popular in Europe in places like France & Czechoslovakia in the 1920s and 1930s and was used by famous designers like Jacob Bengal and Louis Rousselet.
The designer of this piece was unknown, but everything about this necklace says couture down to the swirled barrel clasp. It measures 19 long and is in overall excellent condition, with a couple small chips to one of the black beads at the top, and a flea bite chip to a turquoise cone bead. The thread is original and seems sturdy.
A true collector's piece that's ready to be worn again!
