The color is true butterscotch, that warm amber yellow Bakelite ages into, and the surface has the deep glassy polish that no modern plastic quite copies. The form is a thick half hoop, open at the front, so it curves around the lobe and catches light along the whole outer face. Chunky in feel, restrained in size. Metal clip fittings with a screw adjuster, so the tension can be set to your ear. How to wear them With denim, cream or chocolate brown. Butterscotch is a neutral in disguise. Gold jewelry elsewhere, not silver. The warmth needs matching. Hair back so the curve of the hoop shows. Good for collectors and good for wearing, which is rarer than it sounds.

Every piece here is genuine vintage or antique and is sold as found. Era, materials and maker are our best educated judgment from the item in hand and from any marks on it, and are not guaranteed unless a mark is quoted in the listing. Expect the ordinary signs of a long life: chains, clasps and unplated metal can tarnish or darken, plating and finishes can soften, and stones and enamel can show faint wear. Anything beyond what we consider normal for the age is photographed and called out above. Questions and extra photos are always welcome before you buy. Condition: Pre-owned - Good.
