I have always had an affection for the ‘tinkle’ sound of a piece of frosted Lucite jewellery. A mixture of glass and acrylic, it was first manufactured by DuPont in the 1930’s for a coating made for aircraft I believe...and in 1936 the first pieces of jewellery were made with it.
My Grandmother had a bracelet and my mother had a floral necklace made with frosted Lucite.
So.....here is my first collection of Lucite jewellery. I have mixed in Swarovski and various metals..... a few examples anyway. I will be at St. Joseph’s Winery in Niagara on the Lake on Dec.1st......
