 Bead Distributor, and Beads and Jewelry Supply information:
Fine gold and silver jewelry was also made in ancient Anatolia, Persia, and Phoenicia. Techniques included granulation (in which surfaces are decorated with clusters of tiny grains of gold), filigree, inlaid gems, and cloisonné and champlevé enamel. Evidence of Egyptian influence on Phoenician work and of Mesopotamian styles on Persian work suggests widespread trade or other contact. Typical work consisted of thin coils and chains of linked and plaited wire, and thin foil formed into petals and rosettes. Stamping and enameling were common. Free use was also made of gold granulation and filigree. Inlaid stones were rare. Prevailing motifs were spirals and naturalistic patterns based on cuttlefish, starfish, and butterflies. Jewelry found at Mycenae and in Crete, and now in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, includes a great number of small gold discs, perforated so that they could be attached to clothing, and gold diadems made of long oval plates covered with repoussé rosettes. Forms included hookah bases, sprinklers, and dishes, usually gilded or enameled in floral patterns. Bohemia continued to excel in wheel-engraved decoration with the work of such artisans as dominik biemann.
About Bead Distributor
The techniques remained fundamentally the same as in the preceding period; embossed or stamped plates were the basic element in the work; granulation continued and was developed in Etruria to an extraordinary degree of refinement. xamples of such pieces include buckles and clasps from the 7th-century Sutton Hoo ship burial in Suffolk (British Museum) and a crown inlaid with garnets and cabochon (rounded) gems (Real Amería, Madrid), which belonged to Recceswinth, the Visigothic King. |
