About MeThese spiral earrings are made from black nylon and blue and orange pvc. Modern jewellers often questioned the perception of value where non-precious materials such as plastics, paper and textiles are exploited as an alternative to precious metals.
Finlay has made a matching brooch in the same style, also in the museum's collection.
