meme 01: what not to wear

JEWEL MEME
It's our first meme! Per player suggestion, it's about your Jewels! Tell us all about how your character wears their Jewel. Is it in an armband? A necklace? Have they set it in a belt? Is that Jewel proudly displayed, or has the character made an attempt to hide it?

In canon, a Jewel is large enough to be cut into both a pendant and a ring—the traditional way the Blood wear their Jewels. What that means is, like so many other things, a little unclear. Who knows if the Jewel is initially big enough to be the statement in a statement necklace or large enough to double as a 33 carat brass knuckle ring. What we're saying here? Go wild.

Not sure where to start? Here're what Councilman Grejor Shamael's Jewels look like:

I used models that were already in FFXIV! because lol diving into google is hard

Rhus wears his sapphire in a set of a pair of earrings and a bracelet. He's a simple but fashionable catte, and would have had someone make them based on stuff he's already seen and worn in the past.

The earrings are called Platinum Earrings of Casting but can be worn by any battle job so The bracelet meanwhile is the Ryumyaku bracelet of [insert job role here]. Each battle job has its own bracelet but the model is the same for all of them.


Fun fact: I only realized the ryumyaku bracelet was dark blue and matched the sapphire earrings nicely in the first draft of this. If I hadn't, I would have had him wear the Platinum Scarf of Casting, which is part of a set of jewelry along with the earrings.
