Spiral Hair Ring, 9th Definitive Issue of the Republic of Cyprus Jewellery of Cyprus, Republic of Cyprus

Description

In the early Byzantine period gold and silversmiths devoted much of their time to producing crosses, chalices, icons and other liturgical items. However as prosperity grew the demand for jewellery for personal adornment gave the craftsmen new opportunities to create more ornate and elaborate designs such as gemstone encrusted necklaces, bracelets and earrings in gold and silver. Jewellery was meant to enhance the beauty or emphasize the status or rank of the wearer. Since ancient times, the craftsmen of Cyprus have produced work of high quality including filigree, a technique that requires considerable skill.
