One of the things I like to do when I am feeling stuck or bored is to do google image searches.  This site came up in one of my searches, and I constantly find myself going back to it.  It is a history of Greek jewelry, and is called Greek Jewelry - 5000 Years Of Tradition.  Amazing stuff!

Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!

Cheers!

 Here are a few of my favorites:

 Gold earrings from Siphnos, 17th-18th century. Three-masted caravels with multicoloured enamels and pearls. Ornate surfaces like transparent gold lace with enamelled details echo the influences of European rococo sailing ships hang from bows topped by a crown. Athens Benaki Museum, inv. no. 7670.

 Gold earrings of boat-shape type with ***-horse. (Athens, National Archaeological Museum, ST. 237). First half of 5th century BC.

Gold pendant with a pair of wasps or bees. Superb specimen of Minoan goldsmithing with granulation and filigree technique. From Chrysolakkos, Malia, Crete. (Herakleion Museum). 1800-1600 BC.

Wow! these are just so beautiful and inspirational. Thanks for sharing
