See how to reconstruct a Bronze Age necklace

A Bronze Age necklace is back on show in all its glory for the first time in thousands of years after a painstaking reconstruction process.

The jewellery would have been worn by a Scottish woman of wealth from about 4,000 years ago.

Pieces of the necklace and bracelet were discovered in 1870 in a burial site at the former Balgay Estate, near Dundee.

National Museums Scotland conservators have combined the original beads with recreations to return the items to their original state.

The jewellery is now on display at Dundee’s McManus Art Gallery and Museum.
