Most of what I thought is more dress accessories but it might be of some use.
For earlier in the period I thought of :
- wrist clasps
- maybe an entry or something parpahenalia commonly hanging off belts
like toiletries, shears, keys, knives, amulets, pouches, crystal balls etc
- regional variations. I'm thinking particularly of Kent and the
different placement of brooches in the grave that some have suggested
to indicate a open robe as well as the various influence saxons,
anglian, jutes etc had on dress.
- coloured veils
- dress pins
-Then there is:
- hooks and eyes
- buttons
- toggles
- pilgrim badges, funerary badges
- braids (various techniques used to make them, finishing, gummed edges etc)
- ribbons
- ecclesiastical garments and clothing of monks, nuns, priests and
their changes over the period
- servant livery
- robes, chains, and badges of office
- leather
- opus anglicanum
- jewellery (brooches, ear rings, finger rings, pendant, necklaces,
bracelets etc.)
- belt buckles, stap ends
