A Delightful Greek Gold and Garnet Strap Necklace. Hellenistic Greece, c. 3rd-2nd century BC. Length: 9-1/4" (16.5 g). This necklace is reflective of the conservative, monochromatic traditions of Greek jewelry even after Alexander's conquests re-energized the decorative arts with exotic new materials, colorful stones, and foreign and different treatments of goldwork.
