Overview of the Collection
The 1940s Decade Collection reflects resilience, care, and quiet creativity in the face of limitation. Ration Book draws on the resourcefulness of the era, where thoughtful use of colour and materials became part of daily life.
The Decades Collection was commissioned by Sheffield Millennium Gallery as part of the exhibition Colours, exploring how colour tells stories across time. This design brings together military green, deep navy, and soft blush pink to reflect balance, restraint, and understated beauty rooted in the 1940s.
As part of the dopamine dressing jewellery movement, these earrings use grounded tones and gentle contrast to create a sense of calm, stability, and quiet confidence through what you wear.
