Read more:Medallions are round shaped pieces of engraved or carvedmetal that come in
different sizes. The metal could be gold, silver, copper, iron, or other.
Produced with a fairly simple imprinting technique, medallions have been crafted
for centuries.

Medallions were a prominent part of art in ancient civilizations, in particular
Macedonia and Rome. Sculpted out of gold and silver with intricate detailing,
these medallions were often used in art pieces whose goal was to adorn the person that wears it.

The Macedonian women, even today, use decorative medallion necklaces as
part of the traditional costumes worn during traditional festivities.
The medallions worn during marriage celebrations were crafted of opulent materials such as
gold and silver, adding sparkle to the ritual. This tradition remains intact today.
