bejewelled: bakelite bits

I love bold, colorful, well-designed jewelry, and Bakelite Bits, run by Aileen Ward, makes amazing jewelry out of vintage bakelite! Her revamped pieces are reminiscent of recent Prada designs--big graphic pieces dripping with color and high style...talk about classy! Plus, all the effort spent in collecting choice pieces of bakelite to incorporate into her jewelry really pays off: you get a one-of-a-kind item that's a mix of the past and very fast-forward.
