Delve into the world of ancient civilisations and explore the stunning artistry and craftsmanship of Roman, Greek, Viking, and Medieval jewellery. This period reflects a rich variety of materials and techniques, including intricate gold and silver pieces, granulation, filigree, repoussé, and the use of precious gemstones like emeralds, sapphires, rubies, and diamonds. Gemstone cameos were highly prized in Rome, while the Viking era saw the use of twisted wire and intricate knotwork, often adorned with animals and elaborate designs. Medieval jewellery reflected the social hierarchy, with the use of symbolism, gem-encrusted crosses, and rings with intricate carvings. Collecting and owning genuine pieces from this era is a true luxury and joy. From Egyptian scarabs made of stone to Greek coins and Roman intaglios, our selection invites you to discover a rich world of possibilities. We
source our pieces only from reputable art dealers, ensuring proper provenance.
