Vintage Moonglow Thermoset Lucite Teal Blue Leaf Bracelet
Details
Vintage Aquamarine Blue Moonglow Lucite Bracelet is set in a silvertone metal base and is in overall excellent condition.
The bracelet consists of 8 V shaped links. Each link is 1 1/16" long and 1" wide. There is some very small wear to the metal clasp, only visible with real effort to identify.
Measures 7 1/4" long and weighs 62 grams.
Moonglow is a form of lucite that first gained popularity in the 1940s and 50s. Moonglow gets its name due to its moon-like shine and shimmer when light hits its surface. It has a moonstone, almost cats' eye look that seems it has its own inner light.
Moonglow lucite was made into earrings, bangle bracelets, beads, buttons, and man-made cabochons that were set into earrings and brooches. Moonglow came in many colors ranging from bright sunshine yellows, bold blues, radiant reds, soft pastels to deep emerald greens. Although moonglow was primarily fashionable during the 40s and 50s, it continued to be used in jewelry until the 1960s.
Moonglow is comprised of acrylic resin and of heat-set plastic. This process was called "thermosetting." Unlike today's comtemporary plastics that feel hollow and insubstantial, vintage lucite, especially moonglow, has a nice weight to it. It feels strong and cool against the skin.
If you are a fan of moonglow, I have several other pieces and will be adding more.

Reviews
Thank you great pin fast delivery
The doll I received isn't the one from the picture. Only one flower on her hat and missing tags. For $100 I expect what I paid for. I am incredibly dissapointed and will not shop with seller again.
Received item exactly as described. Very happy with my purchase, thanks.
What a great seller. Took extra photos for me and emailed them. Very easy to communicate with, and I got exactly what I expected-a beautiful vintage dress for my son's wedding, that was in excellent condition.
Very special gift for myself
