Earrings, by Karen A.D. McGlashan

This pair of silver earrings with gold solder, heated borax flux and melted hair was made by the Scottish artist Karen A.D. McGlashan in 1987.

Each clef-shaped earring has a circular section coloured with 18 carat gold solder, heated borax flux and melted hair. Each has a cubic zirconia just at the tip.

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.
