Victoria Mathews Poodle Brooch
The Tingate Family's Caravan Holiday series is a fun and playful range of jewellery. It is designed with a 1950s theme, and to keep with this theme I have used formica and laminate which were widely used in furniture at the time. The 50s is a time-period that is steeped in nostalgia. It was a time when design was at the forefront, and new materials and shapes were being used, as well as bright colours. I find it interesting that these advances in innovation contrasted so strongly with the strict social expectations and rigid gender roles of the time.
This poodle is made from sterling silver and laminate
