Found Antiquities Made Into Jewellery Banned From Museum Shop

The items incorporated in the jewellery have very low intrinsic value and little value to a museum, but museums should not be trading in these items even in this form, the museum has decided. Article from The Telegraph. Pictured is an example of the type of work available from the website English Relics - necklace made from a Roman Theatre Mask retailing for £18o.
