During the Viking Age, it was particularly common in the
Slavic region to decorate necklaces, brooches and beads with elaborate, filigree granulation decoration in the form of fine silver wires, strings of beads and spheres.
While granulation was initially widespread on disc-shaped gold pendants in the 8th century, it became increasingly common on spherical gold beads and gold bracteates in the 9th century. In the 11th century,
gold granulation became increasingly widespread, for example on disc-shaped fibulae and amulets, which became much more ornamental in the 11th and 12th centuries.
