Peter Chang is a British jeweller known for his unconventional and brightly coloured plastic creations.
This bracelet from the 1980s is typical of the period where non-precious materials were being exploited by makers to create jewellery that questioned the notion of wearability.

A lovely, colourful piece from Chang who worked predominantly in plastic. Would such items be as popular in today's environmentally aware era?
