The glass cases which fill the Malcolm Bett's London jewelry shop invite you into a modern setting filled with high end lighting while the contents of the cases make you think you might be viewing the jewelry belonging to ancient man. You can take a little virtual tour of the shop via Malcolm Bett's web site, but instead of getting your greasy fingers all over his clean glass cases, you get a slide-show treat of his unique approach to jewelry designing.

As a collector of ancient jewelry, okay I admit I've only got a few pieces right now, I very much appreciate the idea of mixing the look of ancient jewelry designing techniques, such as the texturing of metal and the oversized links on some of the chains, with modern day aesthetics.
