Pieces of Eight
Artists | David Parker

David Parker produces jewellery that embodies a uniquely modern spirit. The Melbourne based designer brings strong technical knowledge and innovation to his handmade designs.

"I see my work as an interpretation of both art deco design and modern influences – in particular art deco architecture and modern sculpture. My metal work reflects the bold forms, sweeping curves and clean edges often found in both these movements. Although I love some older designs, it's very important for my work to reflect my own time and place."
