Bakelite and Catalin Apple Button Pendant



You are going to love this one!
This button was carved from a Vintage Bakelite bracelet tube
And vitnage catalin.

It is guaranteed to be Bakelite and Catalin.
These materials were purchased from respected merchants,
and were tested upon receipt.
They passed the finger rub test, 409 test,
hot water test, and heat resistance test.
Not to mention that heavy cutting and carving pruduces a dust that stings my eyes!
There is no mistaking that effect.
This button was carved from a green swirl bakelite bracelet tube.
The Catalin Apple is inlaid about an eighth of an inch into the bakelite,

Then the leaf on top of the apple was also inlaid,
about one-sixteenth of an inch into the apple,
and also was 'tabbed' into the leafy base.

The fact that the apple is inlaid, and translucent,
has the effect of giving the apple great depth.
