Amber Bakelite: Is the reproduction of true amber in a celluloid plastic: Plastics in some form or other have been used in jewelry for many years. Celluloid was the first known plastic, invented in 1868 by John Hyatt. Then in the first part of the 20th century, casein (made from a milk protein) came along. He found that once it was cast, it could not be melted. The Great Depression of the '30s occurred. Money was scarce; women were looking for an inexpensive way to refurbish their old wardrobe and give it a new look; bakelite was the answer. One could find this unique jewelry in almost any color: red, green, and butterscotch being the most common. Bakelite jewelry added a cheery note to a bleak time in our history. Bakelite was used to imitate tortoiseshell, amber, and even gemstones. It was dyed to imitate coral and looked so believable that it often has to be tested to tell the difference. Bakelite, as was mentioned earlier, was often used to imitate amber. A lot of jewelry on the market today that is thought of as amber is actually bakelite. The one conclusive test is hot needle test. When a red hot needle is placed on a piece of bakelite, the material will not be penetrated; whereas, true amber will melt and release a faint piney odor. This is a destructive test but when in doubt it is the only test I know that is accurate. If you must know, please find an inconspicuous place on the specimen to do your testing.
The chemical formula of bakelite is (C14H18O5)n, where n represents a variable number of repeating units in the polymer structure.
Bakelite jewelry is an antique. With many different designs and styles, there are many options one might choose from. One can find information on Bakelite written in an easy-to-understand format at the "About" website.

Bakelite is very popular right now. A good test is to dip an inconspicuous corner into hot water and immediately smell the item. If it has a strong pine needles kind of odor it is most likely bakelite.

Bakelite jewelry is basically vintage jewelry made from bakelite, the very first type of plastic that enables molding once heated. Bakelite is easily colored and can also be carved, which is why bakelite jewelry often depicts flowers and other colorful designs.
Bakelite is made by mixing carbolic acid with formaldehyde
The thermal conductivity of Bakelite is typically around 0.15-0.25 W/m-K, which means it is considered a relatively poor conductor of heat compared to metals. This property makes Bakelite useful for applications where thermal insulation is desired.
The IUPAC name for Bakelite is polyoxybenzylmethylenglycolanhydride.
