Plastics on Parade

Since plastics were invented, they were used many different ways for jewelry.  Necklaces, bracelets, earrings, dress clips and belt buckles just to name a few.  For some reason, a lot of the early plastics came in shades of red.  I never quite grasped how this came about.  Fashion? Inability to make other colors?  What ever the reason, there's tons of really interesting items to choose from.  And even modern pieces are still red!

I'm always looking for those lost treasures of costume jewelry. Many are disappearing and being used for crafts and I'm hoping to salvage some of these wonderful pieces for future generations to enjoy.
