Anyone wear roman jewellery as daily attire?
#1
Just curious ... I got a roman ring off of eBay a few years back that had been polished up and restored that I wear daily. Nothing fancy, just a copper ring I have to clearcoat the inside every once and a while to keep my finger from turning green Smile Makes for an interesting conversation piece when people notice it

I wear replicas of Roman jewelry as daily attire, e.g. Roman fibulas as brooches. I just found on the website of a German guy who does replicas a nice finger ring with a snake. Well, sooner or later this one will be mine :lol: and I surely will wear that on everyday occasions as well.

I also have a bronze legionnaire's signet ring (cross & rays pattern, possibly early Christian), which I wear a few days each week. +<i>r</i>

I wear a Celtic torque most days, but not to work (my collegues are fairly ignorant) :? .

I wore Ancient bronze rings for about 3 years but I stopped because I got tired of people saying "Hey your fingers are green what are wrong with them. I have gotten a lot of nice comments about them though. By the way know I wear a repo silver roman one.

Also While I am thing about it I have found Roman Jewelry incredibly durable for being 2,000 years old. I have never broken one in all the years of wearing them even though the sellers always caution one about them being Fragile.
