"According to experts at the National Museums of Scotland (NMS), the
four beautifully worked 'torcs' represent the most significant find of
Iron Age metalwork in the country. One of the Stirling necklaces is a
ribbon torc made from twisted Irish or Scottish sheet gold. Another is
encrusted with circles of gold wire and beads of gold that look like
pearls."
