Arelia,
Do you know of any distributor where one can find historically accurate women's jewelry for 1st century women. I bought my wife a stola, palla, and tunic from Matthew Amt's sister who makes them, but I haven't been as successful looking for the jewelry. I was hoping to find some bead necklaces or such. I found a pair of the drop earrings, and brooches from the Quiet Press, but I haven't had luck finiding anything else.
Joshua,
I bought some linen clothing from this site.

I am pretty happy with it. The woman who makes the clothing is Matthew Amt's sister. The prices were reasonable, and the turnaround was pretty quick if your looking to buy it. Don't know if you would rather make it yourself, but thought I would throw it out there. Good luck.
