A vintage Catalin (phenolic resin, commonly referred to as Bakelite) bangle bracelet from a New York studio collection, featuring a deep cherry-brown tone and an applied decorative metal bow motif.

The bracelet is formed as a smooth, rounded Catalin bangle, accented with a stylized bow composed of fine mesh and chain-link elements, centered with a small Catalin cabochon. This combination of materials reflects the playful and inventive approach to costume jewelry design associated with mid-century studio production.

According to the consignor, this bracelet was among a group of pieces gifted to Andy Warhol and later returned prior to his passing. While no photographic documentation is available, it remains part of a collection associated with Warhol-era New York.

A wearable and collectible example of Catalin jewelry, combining classic form with decorative studio embellishment.
