[Artemisia] question about circlets god help me

[Sue Clemenger]

To throw in my two pence' worth, I'd like to add that for a lot of us, 
circlets aren't exactly authentic for our persona, anyway.  Lots of 
different cultures, lots of different ways of showing/expressing rank. 
I'm so accustomed to *not* wearing one that I doubt I would, if I ever 
moved to another kingdom that allowed them at my SCA level.  It's not 
appropriate headgear for my persona, even if it is really pretty jewelry 
(and oooh, have I seen some yummy stuff over the years).
