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.
