The Treasure of Cheste (Valencia), now preserved in the Valencia History Museum, is made from several pieces of gold: a necklace, three pendants and a fibula (brooch).

This set of pieces are representative of the jewels of the Iberian Society, in the Edetania's region, and its production and use is dated between the fourth and third centuries BC

It was found in two vessels in the area of La Safa in Cheste.
