Blossom Bangle

Vivid, graphic, and unmistakably Mark Davis, this warm pink bakelite bangle is inlaid with an exuberant floral pattern of overlapping blossoms in layered tones of red, coral, and yellow. White topaz, bezel-set in 18k yellow gold, adds crisp points of light throughout. The effect is bold and artful, with a contemporary energy that will especially appeal to a collector drawn to design with a strong visual point of view.

What makes the piece truly remarkable is the workmanship behind it. The extensive overlapping inlay is far more demanding than it first appears, and the bordered flowers require exceptional precision to execute cleanly in vintage bakelite. Luxurious, highly individual, and beautifully resolved, this bangle showcases the depth of Mark Davis’s knowledge of the material and his extraordinary command of color, composition, and finish.
