Delight, Excite, Take Flight with Lucite!

Hello fashionable friends!



The easiest way to energize your outfit this spring is with vintage lucite. So many colors and finishes to choose from and... size matters! Three or four stacked lucite bangles makes the statement you need and oversized lucite necklaces can add just the right amount of sophistication.



Clear acrylic thermoset plastic also known as lucite was introduced in 1937 by the Dupont Corporation. Bakelite (an opaque formaldeheyde plastic resin) was popular first then Lucite surpassed Bakelite in popularity by the 1950s. Lucite has been used in costume jewelry since 1940. Between 1940 and 1960, many colors and textures were introduced. Pearlized, moonstone, confetti, granite and embedded textures were introduced and costume jewelry companies began producing tinted, molded and opaque finishes. Vintage lucite is highly sought after by collectors and designers but the lucite look has become high style again. Spring 2010 runways for Burberry,Prada, and Michael Kors all featured oversized lucite jewelry.
