The making of ornaments is one of the industries that has always been considered in ancient Iran. Among the outstanding works in this field are the golden collars belonging to the Sassanid and Parthian periods of the Reza Abbasi Museum. These golden collars have special structural features and decorative methods that by studying them, in addition to showing the historical course of making the collar, their special decorations will also be introduced.The main focus of this research is the structural form of the two samples studied and the decorations of each work. Accordingly, first the structural and decorative features of each work have been studied separately, then the collars have been studied comparatively.The results of this study introduce the techniques used in these works and also show the commonalities and differences in the collar making of these two periods, so that it can be said that these two collars have many similarities in terms of structure and decoration method. It shows the continued use of popular artistic traditions for several centuries.

Mercury gilding is a method used to decorate silver traces during the Sassanid period. It has features that make the gold layer firmly attached to the silver base and the gold layer does not detach from the work over time.In this research, this question on has been raised as to what caused the gold layer to last on the silver surface? The aim of this study is finding similarities and differences between the silver effect of the Sassanid period and the samples obtained from laboratory experiments,it has led to the knowledge of how to implement this method and also the reason for the stability of the gold layer on the silver surface. For this purpose, mercury gilding has been recovered and performed with an old specimen as metallurgical examination to identify the structure. Then, the surface of the coating and how the gold layer adheres to the base metal (SEM) is further studied.The results show that in this method, the gold coating is a type of penetration coating that causes the gold layer to adhere firmly to the silver base.
