Bakelite tested Kenneth Lane signed BIG, Butterscotch graduated Necklace ~86 gms, 23.5” of vintage costume jewelry

DESCRIPTION: This large Bakelite bead necklace is signed Kenneth Lane.
(Some high-end custom jewelry houses continued to use Bakelite throughout the ‘60s and ‘70s.)
Each round bead is created from End-of-the-Day Butterscotch, Milk Chocolate, & Mocha color Bakelite.
The marbling is dramatic.
They graduate in size and are hand-knotted with deep brown string.
The necklace has a gold-tone barrel closure.

This hard to find, over-the-top, massive necklace is special.

Enjoy!
