1960s Ivory Galalite Bangle

A striking example of midcentury French design, this 1960s bangle is crafted from Galalite, an early plastic made from casein (milk protein) that was widely used in costume jewellery and accessories from the 1920s through the 1960s. Its smooth, ivory toned surface evokes the elegance of Victorian ivory while embracing the clean lines and minimalist sensibility of midcentury modern design.
The bangle’s bold form and solid construction reflect the high quality typical of French made accessories of the era, combining durability with refined aesthetic appeal. This piece exemplifies both material innovation and the timeless appeal of minimalist design, making it a versatile addition to vintage or contemporary collections.
