Novelty Necklaces
As plastics became more accessible during the late 1930s  and due to the fact that they could be moulded into elaborate shapes, they were ideal for jewellery making. As well as being colourful, they were relatively cheap compared to semi-precious stones - an important factor during the Depression and Second World War. Designs also became more naturalistic, moving away from the earlier geometric shapes. Jewellery designers of this period drew their inspiration from the natural world – flowers, feathers, birds and fruits were popular themes.

Bakelite
The most expensive of the available plastics was bakelite. Bakelite jewellery featured in many of the USA's high-end department stores such as Bloomingdales, Saks, Lord & Taylor and Macy's. The jewellery of this era is now highly collectible.

Comment
