African Bangles and Australian Ring

These bangles are part of a large collection of bangles I have from North Africa, I used to drive trucks in the Sahara, and when I used to go through the tribal areas and meet all the different tribes, I used to swap things with them or buy bangles from the women. So I have a big collection of old North African Jewellery.

My ring was made for me by an Australian designer called Rebecca Aims, I think she makes gorgeous things, what I like about this ring is at first glance you would think , it’s maybe turquoise or jade, it is simply resin set in acrylic and silver. The reason I like it because it is using contemporary materials, and exploring what you can do with contemporary materials, I love it because It’s very chunky, and I go this one specially because I love the colour.
