Archaeological Revival jewelry has a wide-spread influence of many ancient civilizations. The trend was prevalent in the decorative arts from about 1800 to 1889. Greek artifacts were discovered in Crete between 1806 and 1814, sparking a fashion trend for all of the best dressed Westerners. Ancient Roman and Egyptian styles were also being studied and emulated. The beautiful and exotic techniques, patterns and motifs were copied and used in all sorts of jewelry pieces and continued to remain popular well into the Edwardian Era.
