Bluma Bangle

This wide vintage bakelite bangle is a remarkable study in color, precision, and layered craftsmanship. The softly marbled ground has a smoky brown, luminous quality, creating depth beneath an elaborate floral composition that appears to drift across the surface. The inlay is exceptionally intricate: flowers overlap, colors shift, and individual petals are cut and fitted with the kind of exacting control that makes the piece far more complex than it first appears.

The bangle is set with a varied mix of gemstones, including tsavorite garnet, white topaz, citrine, amethyst, rhodolite garnet, tanzanite, iolite, and smoky quartz, each set in 18k yellow gold. The stones add points of light throughout the composition without overwhelming the marquetry.

Playful in subject but serious in execution, this is real jewelry with a modern, collected spirit. It is joyful, technically demanding, and highly individual—a one-of-a-kind Mark Davis piece for someone who values rarity, workmanship, and jewelry that could not belong to anyone else’s design vocabulary.
