More likely Roman bought girl. Put jewelry on her. Later, Roman sold girl for enough to make a downpayment on a new team of oxen.

She was put on a boat to Syria, then sold to someone else, with jewelry, and next thing you know she was ON THE SILK ROAD where both jewelry and girls were regularly trafficked.

Amazingly she made it to Japan.

Why I suggest that the jewelry were traded with a girl is it made her more valuable AND kept the jewelry from being melted down. It's value as body adornment became obvious. Think of her as a "sex sells" sort of advertising.
