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.
