#i couldn't help but think “ooooh who gave him the ring? 👀”

So, Apollo and jewellery!!

I want to start off by saying that Apollo (or any male god, really) wearing jewellery is not a common occurrence in the ancient greco-roman art forms. So there's not a lot you can get, but I've put together whatever I've found so far.

On the vase paintings, you'll find body chains across his chest and there's bracelets too:

^ He also has a leg bracelet in this one

In this painting, along with a body chain and a bracelet, there's a thigh band and a finger ring as well.

Then we have waist belts. I did entertain the possibility of this being an embroidered belt. However in the first image, the belt is gilded with gold, so imo it's meant to be a belt with gilded gold, if not made entirely of gold.

In this Etruscan painting representing Apollo going to/coming back from Hyperborea on a swan, he's wearing necklaces.

Apollo wearing a necklace and an arm band seems to be a fairly common sight in the Etruscan art (so Aplu, technically ig), as seen in these two statuettes:

and some Etruscan mirror arts:

Now moving onto the diadems! A diadem referred to something you could tie your hair with - it could be a ribbon, a wreath of fresh leaves, or a jewelled wreath/head piece - it's the last one that I'm counting as jewellery. Diadems like the one Apollo is wearing below were usually worn by noblewomen.

You can also find depictions of Apollo with a jewelled wreath on his head. They resemble a laurel wreath, but they're made of gold, and have gems embedded. Here's a statue for example:

There are also Roman frescos and mosaics that show you what it actually looks like in color.

And here, you can see not just a gold diadem, but also bracelets on both his hands as well as anklets on his legs:

And there's what seems to be earrings as well? But honestly I'm not that sure, it could just be a damage on the fresco (even if that's the case, we can still appreciate the winged eyeliner amirite)

There's also this fresco of Apollo judging a beauty contest between Venus and Hesperus. Here he is not wearing a gold wreath, but there is a gold band upon his head:

And unlike other pieces of jewellery, you'll find literary references as well for Apollo's diadem:

"When Apollo was born, Zeus equipped him with golden headband and lyre and gave him also a chariot of swans to drive" – Alcaeus, Hymn to Apollo (trans. David A. Campbell)

"Apollo puts his hair in order by shaping his flowing locks with soft foliage and braiding it with a golden diadem." – Virgil, Aeneid 4 (trans. Ingo Gildenhard)

"...he fastens bay about his lyre and the woven brilliance of his coronet, and ungirds his breast of the pictured girdle..." – Statius, Thebaid 6 (trans. J. H. Mozley)

"But you will say, Phoibos has a goldgleaming diadem." – Nonnus, Dionysiaca 4 (trans. William Henry Denham Rouse)

[Inscription]: "Apollo the mighty, Lord incomparable of the Diadem, who hath set up statues of the Gods in this kingdom" – Ammianus Marcellinus, History 17 (trans. John Carew Rolfe)

[Inscription]: "Mighty Apollo, seated upon truth, Lord of the Diadem, who hath gloriously honoured Egypt as his peculiar possession" – Ammianus Marcellinus, History 17 (trans. John Carew Rolfe)

And that's pretty much everything I've come across so far. I was a bit surprised at the lack of literary references for the effeminate gods. Not just Apollo, even Dionysus' effeminacy is described by his fair face and long hair and perfumed garments, and there are no mentions of jewellery afaik. But of course, just like with Apollo, you can find jewellery on Dionysus in the visual arts.

If you dont mind taking requests can i ask for some jealous hq boissss? Thank you 💕

Ooooh yesssss i love jealous boiiiiss 👀 gonna make it spicy 🔥🤭🔥

Didn't knew if you wanted highschool boys or timeskip, but.... There it is 🐨

Warning: suggestive themes

He doesn't ever get jealous, why? Because you've been together for years, he knows you love him and he loves you endlessly, he trusts you, he knows you're a wonderful partner... But there is that mf person again, your coworker who doesn't know boundaries, the one who is always touching a part of your body in the company gatherings, does he even knows you're engaged??? Of course he knows you're always wearing proudly the ring he gave you weeks ago. So yeah, he's not jealous because you made him feel the green monster, he's jealous because he wants to protect the love of his life, so he approaches you pulling you close by your waist, lifts your chin and kisses you leaving you breathless at the sudden display of dominance, your coworker is far gone, he left on the middle of the improvised make out and if he tries to touch you again he'll fuck you in front of him to make sure he knows you're taken

Despite his charming personality sometimes he gets those intrusive thoughts about not being enough or gets salty thinking about you might get enough of his behaviour sometimes, now you're engaged he thought those would fade away since you said yes enthusiastically, after the proposal you guys didn't left the bed until was late in the afternoon. But here you are paying attention to someone of the other team, his sworn rival or at least is what he thinks, you're talking to them, laughing and the guy looks like is having a good time too, why wouldn't he? You're so precious and charming. It's like his body walks towards you on his own, he hugs you from behind placing his chin on your shoulder, pecking your cheek and neck from time to time, he then starts to brag about you "isn't my fiancée pretty?" "I'm glad she said yes" "I'm the luckiest man alive" and out of nowhere he drags you away from them saying "come on love you're going to make me a dilf" making you blush hard, embarrassed you sutter asking what is he talking about, he looks at you smirking "I'm gonna fill you up kitten, you're going to be dripping for days"

If looks could kill, more than look it's a silent deadly glare, he is currently digging holes at the skull of the person you're talking to, as if last night activities weren't burning on his mind, he thinks about what he could do today to make you feel his love at full force, but then he sees the other guy taking a strand of hair and place it behind your ear and all that burning jealousy explodes, he walks towards you, grabs your wrist and drags you to a secluded place, he looks upset but before you could ask what's wrong he lifts you up making your legs tangle around his waist to not fall and backs you against the wall making you gasp in surprise, doesn't say anything but starts to leave hickeys on your neck while moving his hips making yow mewl shamelessly, when he's done he gives a satisfied smirk looking at your turned on state

Is part of the "I'm going to pout until you notice my puppy eyes" squad he didn't plan on being jealous, just happened, he loves you very much, knows you feel the same way since you were the one who proposed first you beated him at that So, why does he feel like you're going to change your mind? You're usually a reserved person but you couldn't help but beam at this guy's tattoos, he looks like such a badass and has a tattoo of your favourite (show, band or interest) besides it's a form of art, you're curious about how the artist make the ink look like the design was fading away, but your lover doesn't know that, he just sees how you trace your fingers delicately all the way down this guy's arm, when you finally turn your attention to him you see him with the biggest frown you've ever seen and he's actually pouting too, you make a mental note to reassure him and making him feel loved that night, after all he looks cute moaning under you
