Villanovan Era
During the Villanovan Era, there was very little jewelry which has remained for discovery in modern times. The Villanovan Etruscans seem to have had left few items of luxury and thus appear modest. Yet Villanovan jewelry proves and confirms that in Etruria great effort was placed in the production of decorative arts. Jewelry was a status symbol and represented, like in present times, wealth and prosperity.
They used the same patterns as on their pottery. Swastikas, zigzags and triangles can be observed on their jewelry.

Famous quotes containing the word era:
“The fantasies inspired by TB in the last century, by cancer now, are responses to a disease thought to be intractable and capricious—that is, a disease not understood—in an era in which medicine’s central premise is that all diseases can be cured.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
