Older Lucite bangles or modern?

Hi all, I have posted these bangles in a few groups but no-one has had any ideas. I would appreciate any opinions you may have. I still find it quite difficult to recognize older Lucite jewelry (Bakelite is slightly easier!). They stood out as looking a little older to me and decent quality. They are both 3.5"W x 1"H. One is a light amber color, the other is pale yellow-both have lots of bubbles inside. One is unfortunately cracked (they don't have seams). Shape slightly faceted. Are they Lucite? do they have any age or are they just a modern plastic from a department store? Thanks a lot!

Wow, Elen, I see why you are having difficulty. My first impulse was to say these are newer. But with the unusual shape, it seems that somebody has put a little more effort in these than just your normal round bangles.

Having said that, I have NO IDEA the dating (even a general date range) these are. If somebody told me I had to name a date range, or else I'd go to jail (!), I'd randomly holler out "'70s, maybe '80s". Maybe somebody else will know more definitively!

Thanks for your most interesting question.
