Red Bakelite Brooch

This vibrant vintage brooch features bold red Bakelite set against a sturdy base metal backing. Measuring approximately 1 3/4 inches long, it reflects the colorful, statement-making style of 1930s–1940s costume jewelry. Bakelite, one of the first synthetic plastics, became a favorite for its rich hues and durable beauty—making this piece a collectible example of early 20th-century design.
