Shultz Bakelite

Ron and Ester Shultz are contemporary American artists who have been making whimisical, wonderful, handcrafted jewelry out of recycled Bakelite for more than decade. Some of their most popular bangle bracelet design motifs include checkerboards, confetti polka dots, wrap around dots, and "Belle" ovals. All Shultz designs and color combinations are made in very limited quantities, and many are one of a kind. Every piece of Shultz Baklite is signed, and is a unique piece of modern art.
