Bronze age jewellery declared treasure

A set of ancient jewellery discovered on Island has been declared 'Treasure.'

A necklace and matching bracelet made up of 122 jet beads was found during a planned archaeological excavation near Kirk Michael.

According to Manx National Heritage, the jewellery would have been a 'tremendously high status object' when it was buried, and still look extremely attractive after four millennia.

Only around 90 examples of similar necklaces and bracelets have been found in Britain and Ireland.
