Jews did not leave Palestine in 65 BCE. They were forcibly exiled over a century later in 70 CE.

When they were exiled, they took on an incredible number of occupations. In most European countries, they were banned from a number of those occupations (especially artisanry). This resulted in European Jews primarily becoming lawyers, bankers, and doctors, since these were the professions not barred to them. However, in countries like Yemen where these prohibitions never occurred, Jews were dominant in jewelry creation.
