{{main|Necklace of Harmonia}}
The [[Necklace of Harmonia]] was a gift to [[Cadmus]] when 
:Zeus gave him to wife Harmonia, daughter of Aphrodite and Ares. And all the gods quitted the sky, and feasting in the [[Cadmea]] celebrated the marriage with hymns. Cadmus gave her a robe and the necklace wrought by Hephaestus, which some say was given to Cadmus by Hephaestus, but [[Pherecydes of Athens|Pherecydes]] says that it was given by Europa, who had received it from Zeus.<ref>Pseudo-Apollodorus, ''[[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Bibliotheke]]'' iii.4.2</ref>

A relic was being shown in [[Amathus]] in Cyprus, in the time of [[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]] (2nd century CE):
:In Cyprus is a city Amathus, in which is an old sanctuary of [[Adonis]] and [[Aphrodite]]. Here they say is dedicated a necklace given originally to Harmonia, but called the necklace of Eriphyle, because it was the bribe she took to betray her husband. It was dedicated at [[Delphi]] by the sons of Phegeus (how they got it I have already related in my history of Arcadia), but it was carried off by the tyrants of Phocis.<ref>Pausanias, ''Description of Greece'' ix.41.2</ref>

The necklace that Pausanias was shown was of green stones with gold, which made him skeptical of its being the one mentioned by [[Homer]] (''[[Odyssey]]'' xi.327), for he noted other occasions in the ''Odyssey'' where necklaces made of gold and stones mention the stones.
