About MeThe jewellery collection has developed in a number of different ways. Alongside examples of fine and art jewellery we also have examples of costume jewellery. The most impressive examples of costume jewellery in the collection were gifted by the Aberdeenshire poet and needlework artist Margaret Winifride Simpson.


More About Me
A fine example of post-war costume jewellery making use of amber - fossilised tree resin much valued from antiquity to the present day for its colour and natural beauty.
