I really liked the Byzantine chain with a cross and little amphoras, but they are all stunning. I was surprised by the intricacy of the Korean chains too.

Yess! That one is sooo good! It's on display at the Met, and it's even more stunning in person. I was also blown away by the gold from Korea when I first saw it, too.

Thank you! I'm so happy you enjoyed it! It is so incredible when you look back and see the creativity and ingenuity of the jewelry that was made. What's also so fascinating is that it's a global occurrence. People in every single continent were developing goldsmithing techniques and unique styles, it's almost a never-ending treasure trove of jewelry to discover.
