A tribute to Ancient Greek soldiers – the Corinthian Helmet necklace is inspired in the ancient Greek armor from the 7th to the 4th century BCE. Warfare soldiers in ancient Greece were almost always battling on foot and needed to be fully protected in order to survive the battle.  Only well-off citizens could afford the armor so soldiers were of necessity a social elite. The bronze helmet protected their heads and also gave them a fierce look that scared their opponents from miles distance.
