Necklace, by Karen A.D. McGlashan

Add to album

This silver, gold and zirconia necklace was made by the Scottish artist Karen A.D. McGlashan in 1987.

The large articulated necklace with cubic zirconia was made of repeated units consisting of double triangles of blanched and lacquered silver and 18 carat gold solder. It moves freely due to a hidden linking system at the back.

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.
