Jewelry was an art form all its own. The ancient Greek style of jewelry more closely resembled miniature classic sculptures than objects of adornment.

As skill and technique improved, Greek jewelry became highly detailed and eventually became complete works of art. One example is an earring of a chariot scene complete with driver and horses.
