Animaux | Victoria local, Tiffany Goebel, is the creative mind behind ANIMAUX designs. Her collections range from the delicately charmed to the intricately beaded, drawing attention to her preferred design mediums, chain, beads, and charms.
She has spoken of her design process as one which is heavily influenced by the desire to create unique pieces of jewellery that blend femininity with edge. Many have said that her jewellery also seems inspired by the west coast. Her use of materials such as seed beads, feather charms and stone chips are suggestive of this association.
She reflects upon her style as one that is constantly changing. She feels it is greatly dependent on the happenings of her life. As a result, ANIMAUX design defies a singular description. Instead, it invokes an array of nuances unique to each piece. |
