DescriptionDescription: Bülow-Hübes’s work in rattan and brass has been called anti-status jewellery. They were made during the second half of the 1940s, when she was a young student at Konstfack and a single mother. The materials were cheap. The jewellery was sold via Svenskt Tenn, and the pieces were bought by women, which was new, since most had so far received jewellery as gifts from men. The design communicated the wearer’s personal and economic independence.
