Ancient Jewellery

Jewellery transcends time and culture, having adorned the skin of individuals around the world for thousands of years. The jewellery of ancient Egypt is notable for its abundance of semi-precious and faience amulets, necklaces and rings, whereas advancements in technology and craftsmanship facilitated the production of exquisite gold and silver jewellery under the Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Empires. Just as in the modern-day, necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings were worn by the ancients as an expression of wealth, status, and beauty.
