I love living history, and have been portraying a 50BC Roman matron since 2013. I researched clothing, food, daily, life, and jewelry… I’d been making wire adornments since high school, so I started there.
(by the way if you’re curious about the security earwires or history of this style, see my paper here) …but I quickly fell in love with pieces that required more skills, so I learned to solder! And set stones!
Good luck replica rings! Details here.
1st century silver & lapis ring – details here.
Lunulas were worn by women and girls to celebrate their connection to the moon.
Signet rings, carved from carnelian, were popular in the ancient Roman world. My carving has a long way to go, but it sure is fun!
