1940s “Genuine Fruit Pits” Necklace • Mid-Century Folk Art Jewelry • Bakelite-Era Natural Pits • Original Tag • Eco Retro Statement

A charming piece of mid-century Americana!

This vintage “Genuine Fruit Pits” necklace celebrates the resourceful, folk-art creativity of the 1940s. Hand-assembled using real fruit pits and warm brown molded beads reminiscent of Bakelite, it carries the original gold foil tag — a rare detail that elevates its history and charm.

During WWII and the post-war era, natural materials and novelty accessories flourished as artists and makers transformed humble organic elements into wearable art. This necklace is a beautiful example of that era’s ingenuity.
