Enamel Sterling Silver Bracelet with Hellenistic Meander Pattern

• Hellenistic - The Hellenistic period is a period in ancient Greek history
  
  that began after the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE and lasted until
  
  the Roman conquest of Greece in 146 BCE. It is named after the Greek word
  
  "Hellenistic," which means "to imitate Greeks."
  
  
  During the Hellenistic period, the Greek world expanded
  
  beyond the boundaries of Greece and encompassed the territories conquered by
  
  Alexander the Great, including Egypt, Persia, and parts of India. The period
  
  was marked by a fusion of Greek culture with the cultures of these conquered
  
  territories, resulting in a diverse and cosmopolitan society.
  
  
  The art and architecture of the Hellenistic period were
  
  marked by a new sense of realism and individuality. Artists and architects
  
  experimented with new techniques and styles, and the incorporation of new
  
  materials such as bronze and glass. A number of the best-known works of Greek sculpture belong to this period, including Laocoon and his Sons, Venus de Milo, and the Winged Victory of Samothrace.

• Sterling Silver - Sterling silver is a mixture of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% of another metal, usually copper. Fine silver is 99.9% pure silver, and is relatively soft and the addition of the very small amount of copper gives the metal enough strength and hardness to be worked into jewellery, decorative and household objects.
