Evert Nijland (born 1971) is a Dutch jeweller based in Amsterdam. This necklace is part of a series of necklaces entitled 'Garlands' (in Dutch 'Guirlandes') which evoke the decorative garlands of architectural ornament. Historicist imagery and references are an important element of his work but always explored from a modern and original perspective and with an unexpected combination of materials.
