From Hellenism to the Crusades (English)

Part of a series of short documentaries on Greek and Cypriot jewelry. This piece features scenes from the ancient city of Kourion in Cyprus as well as the Templar's Kolossi castle. Through these we begin to understand the connection between the heritage of Cyprus and the designs of Greek jewelry. Examples are the Greek Key patterns on the mosaics of Kourion and contemporary Greek Jewelry designs as well as hammered decorations found on silver cups that are inspired by the nature of Cyprus.
