At the last Melbourne Design Market we went to [you know, before it got crap from most the store holders were SHOPS, not designers- sigh...] Marcus bought one of these Punchy Beat rings from Marcos Davidson. I'd seen Marcos' work around, mostly thanks to his close association with Nicholos Jones but that was the first time I'd seen his work in real life. It's pretty darn impressive and some of the most unique jewelery I've ever seen.

Anyway, I can't quite remember what lead me there but I found myself looking through his website and I've found the ring that I'd like. I figgured it's only fair that if Marcus has one, I have one too ;)

This is the one I've chosen...

Cascade Array - Ring of 20ct Palladium, set with x14 gems of varying size {3 of which reside at the bottom}, Diamonds & Sapphires $4,000

Oh yes!! Now when I say I've chosen, I'm not actually getting it. We don't have a lazy $4k sitting around to spend on nice rings! But it's nice to admire pretty things.

Other pretty pretty things from Marcos that are on my "if I had a billion dollars I'd totally buy..." list:

50 Diamond Dome Ring of 20ct yellow Gold, set with x50- 2.5mm "D"colour,Brilliant cut round Diamonds. $7,000

Solonge Allsort Ring of Palladium set with Ruby & Diamond {80 points} upon Bakelite lozenge, Gems are not blind set {Open thru to the back} Forged ring Bezel set. $6,000

Ahhh, to dream. I love love love unique handmade jewellery. I really do think franchised jewellery stores are evil and that Pandora charms are from the Devil! Did you know that Marcus & I designed and had our wedding rings made? My wedding band spells Butler in braille out of diamonds and rubys. A bit bonkers but very us I think. But that's a post for another day...
