Marie-Christine Pavone's charming French galalith jewelry has attracted the attention of many collectors! Her whimsical cats and other animals are sought after by many!
Galalith , whose name originates from Greek "Gala" (milk) and "Lithos" (stone), is one of the oldest forms of plastic, first discovered in 1897,when two German researchers discovered that they could solidify milk casein by adding a small amount of formaldehyde. After 1900, galalith was used in the manufacture of buttons, toilet accessories, fountains pens and other objects. Pure white casein has an extremely fine texture which takes color beautifully and can be polished to a beautiful finish.
