A true vintage rarity, this tested green Bakelite orb pendant is unlike anything else currently on the market. Suspended beneath two sculpted, etched gold-tone leaves, this bold spherical centerpiece brings together nature-inspired design and mid-century elegance. The pendant’s scale, shape, and craftsmanship place it in a class of its own.
Confirmed through Bakelite testing, the deep jade green orb glows with richness and depth. The detailing in the gold leaves is stunning—curved, textured, and perfectly framing the stone for maximum drama and balance.
Attached to an 11.5” double-drop gold-tone rope chain, this piece wears like a high-art statement from the 1940s. You won’t find another like it.
Why It’s Rare:
Orb-shaped Bakelite pendants are extremely scarce—most green Bakelite jewelry from this era came in beads or carved novelty shapes.
Leaf-framed metalwork is detailed, sculptural, and uncommonly paired with Bakelite.
No mass-market matches exist—this is a standout collector’s piece for serious vintage lovers.
