About the Item
This striking necklace is made of expertly carved tubular carnelian and red agate stone. Most likely from the Hellenist period or just after, jewellery at this time was worn by both men and women.
Much of the jewellery in Ancient Greece, the Hellenistic Period specifically (c. 323 BCE–31 BCE), was made of gold. Semi-precious stones from conquered regions would be worked and mixed with gold elements to create beautiful pieces of personal decoration.
Many different types of jewellery existed during this time: hair ornaments, thigh- and armbands, earrings, rings, pins and pendants, and necklaces. Besides gold, gemstones, semi-precious stones, and pearls often decorated the ornamental pieces. The necklace here presents the use of gold to cap the expertly carved stones.

View AllAncient Hellenistic Necklace with Banded Agate and Gold-Charm Beads
Located in London, GB
This stunning necklace dates from the Hellenistic Period. Beginning with the death of Alexander
the Great in 323 B.C., the era is renowned for its artistic efflorescence. Gold flooded into the
Eastern Mediterranean after Alexander’s conquest of Persia, and with an abundance of material to
work with, the skill of Hellenistic jewellers reached new heights of refinement and inspiration. This
piece likely dates from the Late Hellenistic period, during which jewellers made innovative use of
gemstones within elaborate gold settings.
This necklace composed of ancient elements, including 10 gold beads with hanging charms, 28 large natural polished garnet beads and a large central gold capped lozenge shaped banded agate.
From the Hellenistic period, this necklace may have originated from Greece or as far East as the Bactriana (modern day Northern Afghanistan, including parts of southwestern Tajikistan and southeastern Uzbekistan).
This necklace has been restrung and fitted with an 18ct gold S clasp.
