Complemented wonderfully well with images of the Greek Gods like – Eros, Nike, Artemis, and Aphrodite, all pieces of ancient Greek jewelry were explicitly unique. Some excellent jewelry pieces, made of beads, were in the shape of animals too. Pendant earrings bejeweled with Nike, Eros or dove figurines became an accepted fashion statement of those times.

Ornamental pendants, shaped like the classic Greek two-handled vase, were decorated with enamel or gemstones. These wonderful pendants were hung by a rosette. Not just pendants, chains were popular also. Spherical or wide chains of gold were worn as necklaces, with clasps of animal heads or dolphins.
