Five product concepts developed by students from Brunel University to help women defend themselves from physical and sexual harassment. The Brunel University students argue that companies like Tiffany & Co should take the initiative by creating products to help combat this issue, as they are already trusted by women and claim to promote female empowerment. In this spirit, their product concepts are conceived as wearables and accessories finished in the brand's signature Tiffany Blue, with each designed for a different setting from the pub to the workplace. Among the five projects is a spiking-detection cup by Henry Copeland, a scrambler for upskirting photos by Wysiana Patricia, a torque necklace that acts as a non-violent defence mechanism by Sophie Lazenby, necklaces that document workplace harassment by Chloe McCourt and a haptic therapy tool hidden in a compact by Stanley Binns.

Globally, one in every three women has experienced physical or sexual violence in her life, without accounting for the spike in gender-based violence that was caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Furthermore, the project was a direct response to the high-profile murders of Sarah Everard and Sabina Nessa – two British women who were attacked and killed last year while walking home alone at night.

The speculative project saw students envision gadgets for American jeweller Tiffany & Co based on emerging technologies, which they think will be available within the next 10 to 15 years.
