When making celtic knotwork jewellery, Mark likes to work with chunky, deep interlacing, with a profundity and depth to emphasise the detail of the interlacing. With this depth, the beauty of even the most simple knot design becomes apparent.
Mark is fascinated by Celtic knotwork, and spends a lot of time designing knots and interllaced designs. In the wide band ring, Mark has represented the maltese cross four times around the ring, whilst staying true to the interlacing rule of under over under over begining and endless lacing.

The Original Skull was the first skull ring Mark made. A chunky, solid sterling silver complete skull to wear on a finger, with the back of the cranium making up the shank.

The Large Concave Dome Ring uses the concave shape to make the most of the fantastic reflective qualities of silver, and at the same time the external sculptural form is modern and references both flower shapes from nature and the form of an empty traditional bezel - normally housing a stone, which in turn would normally hide the silver below.
The Small Concave Dome Ring uses the concave shape to make the most of the fantastic reflective qualities of silver, and at the same time the external sculptural form is modern and references both flower shapes from nature and the form of an empty traditional bezel - normally housing a stone, which in turn would normally hide the silver below.

Structural silver gets geometric with this small orb ring - which is exactly what it's name suggests - a small silver ball on an elegant shank. Simple.
It's simplicity and lack of detail combined with the unusual design gives a very modern alternative look whilst referencing decadent historic influences.
This ring, The Small Orb, is one of two Orb rings Mark designed - simple but stunning modern organic orbs with a liquid mirror like finish that really stands out from the crowd. The Small Orb is the same weight, but is overall more round in the body.
The Large Orb, is one of two Orb rings Mark designed - simple but stunning modern organic orbs with a liquid mirror like finish that really stands out from the crowd. The Larger Orb is taller, and slightly wider in the body.
As with facets on diamonds, the facets on this ring act to catch the light at diferent angles, making the peice 'sparkle' in the light whe it is moved and the different facets catch and reflect the light in turn.

The Narrow Small Square Ring is chic yet practical and understated yet unusual.
This ring, the Wide Small Square, is one of two square rings Mark designed - simple square rings with rounded points, one narrow and one wide.

Sometimes Mark just makes something a bit off the wall. He gets an idea in his head, and it doesn't make much sense as anything than a wearable sculpture. He often makes these strange peices thinking that nobody will be interested in these flights of freefall fantasy - but much to his surprise they seem to be incredibly popular.
This ring is inspired by the shape of the classic signet ring. Originally the signet ring was used to imprint the seal of the sender on personal communications - but Mark was interested in the eccentric shape of these rings - ignoring the flat surface where the emblem would normally be etched, he added further eccenticity through another axis and he produced this ring.
This ring, The Trio, is made up of three bands which are joined at the front and seperate at the back. This peice was inspired by articulated joints found in suits of armour.
