Celluloid
is the name of a class of compounds created from nitrocellulose and
camphor, plus dyes and other agents. Generally regarded to be the first
thermoplastic, it was first created as Parkesine in 1856 and as
Xylonite in 1869 before being registered as Celluloid in 1870.
Celluloid is easily molded and shaped, and it was first widely used as
an ivory replacement (French Ivory). Thus, through the Victorian Era,
Art Nouveau and parts of the Art Deco Period Celluloid was used to make
all kinds of jewelry.
