Why do you suppose these items from 2700 years ago are more beautiful and unique than anything I could buy today?

You just got old school tastes.
Really old school;
maybe because it wasnt mass produced in china?
Yeah, they're not bad. The older the gold, the more likely it is to be 24 karat, that's one thing. Also, the goldsmiths worked for the ruler or other elite, so their work had to be great. Some Etruscan gold smith figured out how to leave a peachlike fuzz on the outside of a gold imitation of a peach. That technique wasn't figured out again until the 20th century.
First of all, they are probably nearly PURE gold. And I agree that they are incredibly beautiful. In fact, I’m sure that they were stolen out of my very own jewelry box when my attention was distracted by politics! ;)
