Greek, Hellenistic Period, ca. 3rd to 1st century BCE. An incredible example of the beauty and precision of Hellenistic gold work, this is the end of a strap from a diadem, its surface composed of a piece of gold sheet decorated with six bands of woven wires on top and bottom (gold is 92% pure, equivalent to 22K+). Between these are diamonds made of woven wires, with rosettes made of granulations set in their centers. Around the intact, curved end, larger granules form a rounded border. Imagine how this sumptuous item would have looked when worn, pressed against a woman's hair, gleaming in the light of an oil lamp or the sun. Size: 3.75" W x 0.85" H (9.5 cm x 2.2 cm); 1.6" H (4.1 cm) on included custom stand; gold is 92% pure, equivalent to 22K+; total weight: 10.78 gramsThe diadem is one of the oldest and most characteristic articles of women's jewelry that originated in the Greek world. While wreaths and coronets were worn by men as signs of social or political status, and as funerary objects, diadem were worn solely by women, usually strictly for decorative purposes. Numerous examples in gold have been found in necropolises in southern Italy, Macedonia, and on the Black Sea coast, testifying to the great refinement of Greek jewelry-making during the Hellenistic period, and to the widespread diffusion of decorative motifs throughout the Mediterranean basin.
