The buckle is decorated with reflective rectangular silver tone pieces in channels. The chunky, heavy choker necklace attached is shiny silver tone and very Art Deco machine age in style though appears more modern than the buckle clasp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe buckle is such a lovely piece, measuring about 2 inches by 2 inches. On the back it has silver tone fittings - a hook and loop clasp to attach the two halves together. The back of one half has been stamped 'Czechoslovakia'. The Bakelite has been tested with Simichrome paste, giving a positive result as pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuckles are very collectable but not so often attached to belts and actually worn, so this piece has been adapted to become a machine age, Jakob Bengel style necklace. This means the buckle itself has become the necklace clasp and it can be worn at the front, back or side of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's an unusual and versatile piece! The necklace has a choker length of about 16 inches and it sits as a collar around the decolletage. The whole piece is in very good vintage condition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62802000019786,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/2424\/4042\/files\/2026-07-1317.45.28.jpg?v=1784909599","url":"https:\/\/alicelily.co.uk\/products\/vintage-art-deco-apple-juice-yellow-bakelite-buckle-as-clasp-to-silver-tone-machine-age-collar-necklace","provider":"Alice Lily","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
