Jewelry:
Roman women loved jewelry. It was yet another way to decorate themselves and show off their beauty, wealth, and status.
They would wear:
- Necklaces
- Earrings
- Pins
- Rings
- Bracelets fashioned out of gold and laid with precious stones (i.e. pearls or lapis)
Most of the jewelry that women would wear would be made out of gold or glass or have some kind of gold or glass component to it. Precious stones weren't uncomon either.
Perfume:
Perfume was very popular in Ancient Rome. It came in liquid, solid, and sticky forms: often being created in a solvent-extraction process with flowers or herbs and oil.
Perfume would be rubbed or poured on the user, sometimes in big amounts, sometimes in small. It all depended on the scent, kind of perfume, and event.
It was also often believed to be helpful against certain sicknesses (i.e. fevers and indigestion).
The Romans also had deodorants were made from alum.
