Ancient Egypt, Greece & Rome
Do a short online search with Google for good links on the topic of
jewelry for one of the three Ancient cultures covered in this lesson.
Try to find at least one really good link showing Ancient examples of the jewelry,
and at least one good link selling modern reproductions for costumers.
If you want to recreate these, and other jewelry from museum masterpieces, see the new book, "Creating Your Own Jewelry"
There is a long paragraph of what jewelry Roman women wore, many links to beautifully photographed pictures:

This site gave me the best chuckle. The web-site is out of Great Britain, but the store being advertised is just up the street in Rhode Island's capital city! I've shopped here; they really have lovely copies of museum items, including beautiful jewelry. Unfortunately, the Museum Company store web-site is under construction.
Here's the blurb from the UK website:
Museum Company (Shopping - Specialty Shops) 73 Providence Pl Providence Place Mall, Providence 02903 o 401-270-4274
Ever wanted to take home some ancient Roman jewelry? Well, chances are you'll not get the real thing, but the Museum Company works with museums such as the Met in NYC and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London to bring quality reproductions and adaptations of some of the world's best museum items.

Reasonable prices except for one minor detail-they are UK, with a new web site
