Greek and Near Eastern jewelers prized it for its glow against gold. It was cut easily into beads and seals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Greek charm bracelet pairs the stone with gold for a warm, sunlit look. Its color runs from pale orange to deep red. Light passes through thin edges and makes them glow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHellenistic Taste for Color\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter Alexander, Greek jewelers favored colored stones set in gold. The Met owns a Late Hellenistic set of gold, garnet and agate from the 1st century BC. A Hellenistic style bracelet carries that same love of color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeart shapes were a favorite pendant form in the period. The Greek heart bracelet treats them as charms. Jewelers also worked in tiny leaves, shells and figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWearing and Display\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWear this bracelet alone or with a plain watch.
