==== Etruscan ==== {{Main|Etruscan jewelry}} Gorgons, pomegranates, acorns, lotus flowers and palms were a clear indicator of Greek influence in Etruscan jewellery. The modelling of heads, which was a typical practice from the Greek severe period, was a technique that spread throughout the Etruscan territory. An even clearer evidence of new influences is the shape introduced in the Orientalizing era: The Bullae. A pear-shaped vessel used to hold perfume. Its surface was usually decorated with repoussé and engraved symbolic figures. Much of the jewellery found was not ''worn'' by Etruscans, but were made to accompany them in the after world. Most, if not all, techniques of Etruscan goldsmiths were not invented by them as they are dated to the third millennium BC. <gallery widths="170px" heights="170px"> Set of jewelry MET DP122702.jpg|The [[Vulci set of jewelry (Metropolitan Museum of Art)|Vulci set of jewelry]]; early 5th century; gold, glass, rock crystal, [[agate]] and [[carnelian]]; various dimensions; [[Metropolitan Museum of Art]] (New York City) Earring in the form of a dolphin MET SF43119.jpg|Earring in the form of a dolphin; 5th century BC; gold; {{convert|2.1x1.4x4.9|cm}}; Metropolitan Museum of Art Etruscan - Bulla with Daedalus and Icarus - Walters 57371 - Side A.jpg|Bulla with [[Daedalus]] and [[Icarus]]; 5th century BC; gold; {{convert|1.6x1x1|cm}}; [[Walters Art Museum]] ([[Baltimore]]) Earring MET sf9515205.jpg|Earring; gold and silver; {{convert|1.5x0.4x1.4|cm}}; Metropolitan Museum of Art </gallery>
