Description

Repurposed vintage bakelite heart with purple sapphires set in 18k yellow gold on an 18" 18k yellow gold chain. Handmade and one-of-a-kind.


Jeweler Mark Davis combines the unexpected with the respected. Traditional techniques, gold and gemstones meet vintage bakelite and other remarkable materials.


Mark acquires vintage bakelite - one of the first plastics ever made - from estate sales, antique markets and individual dealers. It is then shaped, polished and refurbished to its original color and luster, and set with modern designs of precious and semi-precious bezel-set stones. 

This is a Live Event Item.
