Blossom Bangle

This one-of-a-kind bangle brings a lush garden of color to richly marbled green vintage bakelite. Scattered around the surface, the floral inlay is composed in varied shapes and colors, with layered petals in blue, pink, green, aqua, and burgundy creating a sense of movement and depth. The effect is playful, but the workmanship is anything but casual: each element requires exact cutting, fitting, and finishing to sit cleanly within the curved surface of the bangle.

Amethyst, citrine, rhodolite garnet, blue sapphire, and pink sapphire are set in 18k yellow gold bezels at the center of the flowers, adding flashes of saturated color and fine-jewelry detail. The scale is generous, the mood is joyful, and the execution is highly refined. It is a remarkable example of Mark Davis marquetry work: technically demanding, unmistakably handmade, and modern in a way that still honors the character of the vintage material.
