Costume Jewelry Ancient Roman Earrings, Bracelets

Ancient Roman bracelets did not follow a particular design spectrum. They could be clear or coloured, and often they were set with gemstones or even coins. One costume jewelry case that was found in the grave of a woman from Lyons contained gold bracelets decorated with cameo medallions.

The earrings, bracelets and necklaces produced in the Roman times were purely for decorative purposes, and were almost exclusively worn by Roman ladies as an integral part of their dress. This particular jewellery had no practical purpose at all, as seems evident from the fact that so much has been found in the ground, often at grave sites.

Clearly the estate jewellery was buried with its owner, and that is why it is possible to recover it and learn much about it today.
