European jewellery and style in the late middle age
European jewellery and style in the late middle age

The Middle Ages is a term that covers the time between the classical Greek-Roman world and the Renaissance, about 400 AD to 1500 AD, which is the time from the fall of the West Roman Empire to the rediscovery of the classical knowledge in the 15th century. In North Europe the Middle Age are thought to be starting with the end of the Viking Age about 1000 AD. The early Middle Ages, from 800 AD, when Charlemagne was crowned emperor of the West, to about 1200, saw the gradual emergence of a distinct European culture after the confusion of the so-called Dark Ages. From 1000 - 1200 a relative political and economical stability had been achieved. But still the jewellery design echoed those of the Byzantium. The pictures below visualize the difference between the closed, heavy, protective and monopolized city of the Northern Europe and the open, rich, elegant and affluent Byzantine culture in early The Middle Ages.
