Necklace, by Nichola Fletcher

This ebony, gold, mokume gane and citrine necklace was made by the Scottish artist Nichola Fletcher in 1985.

The crescent-shaped necklace was made of ebony inlaid with nine strips of gold, three wedge-shaped sections of mokume gane (18 carat gold, copper and silver in a swirling pattern), and a square-cut citrine. It has gold end pieces and a fine gold snake chain with a crescent-shaped clasp.

During the 1980s the Scottish Development Agency purchased a number of hand-crafted items for its Scottish Crafts Collection. The aim of the collection was to inform the public of craft production in Scotland through touring exhibitions and education programmes. When the Scottish Craft Council was wound up, the collection was transferred to the National Museums of Scotland.
