Step Back in Time with Ancient Roman Jewelry: A Must-Have for Historical Costuming

- In this video I have made a multi strand necklace from glass beads to approximate coral jewelry popular around the Mediterranean Sea in Ancient Rome. My earrings in particular were inspired by several pairs shows on the Fayum Mummies. The Fayum mummies are widely considered to date between the 1st century BC and 1st century AD. After the death of Cleopatra VII, Egypt was controlled by the Roman Empire which lead to an interesting mix in places by Fayum which has Roman, Greek, and Egyptian influence.
Depending on where I was living, costuming from ancient Rome became a mainstay of my summer costuming wardrobe. It lets air circulate, can accommodate a wide range of body shapes, and can be surprisingly elegant. I would highly recommend checking out ancient Roman clothing for your historical costuming summer wardrobe. Because the clothing is frequently simple with lovely details like the jewelry and hair, this is an ideal style for folks that love to make and add accessories to an outfit.
For more information on these mummies here is a decent article from Wikipedia. It also has the sourcing information for the mummy paintings I reference in this video.

Do you like studying and making clothing or jewelry from antiquity? Which style is your favorite?
The jewelry pieces you made were lovely.
Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed the video
I’ll be making one! Thanks!
I'm glad it inspired you!
Are you at Pennsic? Late antiquity through Byzantium is my period and its so wonderful to see someone doing this. Last time I was at Pennsic (over 20 years ago) It was just me and Nicetas and a couple others. I'm glad it caught on. Are those 8/0 or 6/0 beads? The color is perfect.
I will not be at Pennsic this year. Being on the west coast, that event requires a lot of coordination which I wasn't in the mood for right now.
I'm not sure the exact size on these beads since they were in the strung beads section.
Thank you for watching!
@@MaridithSmith thanks👍🏼 its a drama to coordinate indeed. Your pieces look lovely. Thanks for showing them.
