Bluma Bangle

This bangle has an especially sumptuous presence, beginning with the vintage bakelite itself. Marbled in smoke, honey, cream, and desert tones, the ground has a richly layered depth that gives the piece a sense of movement even at rest. Against this luminous surface, flowers and leaves in vivid pink, coral, blue, green, and burgundy appear suspended within the bracelet, their color made even more striking by the soft, atmospheric complexity of the bakelite beneath.

The composition unfolds with remarkable sophistication. Precisely cut inlays drift across the curved form with a fluid, almost painterly rhythm, while gemstones bezel-set in 18k yellow gold introduce flashes of light throughout. Some stones act as radiant focal points; others glimmer more discreetly, drawing the eye from one motif to the next. The result is not simply decorative, but immersive—an interplay of translucency, reflection, color, and depth that reveals more as the piece is turned in the light.

There is real opulence here, but it is tempered by discipline. The bangle feels lush rather than excessive, and highly refined rather than merely ornate. Distinctive and deeply collectible, it captures a more luxurious side of the Mark Davis aesthetic, where rare vintage material, exacting craftsmanship, and a sophisticated sense of color come together in a piece of unusual richness.
