Aren’t ‘bakelite’ pieces supposed to be desirable?
Is there any way to tell if any of the costume jewelry is valuable? Some of it is gorgeous..I mean, I wouldn’t wear it bc I’m not into jewelry..to wear. I’m thinking of selling some of the pieces.

Anyone know how to separate out ‘undesirable ‘ costume jewelry ?
Pre,

I thought this article re: identifying bakelite was interesting:
