    The use of turquoise and carnelian cloisonné inlay would be more expected in the Ptolemaic or earlier periods than from the Roman period. However, the love of coloured stones increased during the Roman period. In about A.D. 200, Clement said that 'the stones which silly women wear fastened to chains and set in necklaces' included emerald, amethyst, peridot, jasper and ceraunites. Clement's list of stones is closely paralleled by a tariff list of c. A.D. 200, and a list of jewellery from Spain. Both of these sources also include sapphire (hyacinthus) and callaina, which was probably turquoise.
