Ann R. Davis......jewelry designer with a passion for African beads

With a passion for handmade African beads, jewelry designers Ann R. Davis finds design inspirations from the bead themselves and an approach to designing that is both intuitive and improvisational.

Not only do her pieces feel right with street clothes and ethnic styles, but nothing would please me more than to see her exotic and emboldened pieces paired with a contemporary designer piece. For example, shift the mood on this Peter Som design by adding either the bracelet or the necklace.
