Bluma Bangle

This one-of-a-kind forest green bakelite bangle is a remarkable example of technical inlay work. The floral composition is complex and layered, with many of the flowers formed from two-toned petals created through precise marquetry. Pink and blue inlays bring softness and color to the green ground, while larger yellow sapphires and smaller pink sapphires, bezel-set in 18k yellow gold, add brightness, scale, and refinement.

The appeal of the piece lies in both its exuberance and its control. Every petal, color shift, and gemstone placement reflects careful attention to detail, yet the result feels lively rather than overworked. Fine but fun, luxurious but not self-serious, this bangle captures what makes Mark Davis’s work so distinctive: vintage bakelite transformed into modern jewelry with real craft, originality, and joy.
