All That Glitters

Another Wiley and Sons publication/pointless list of things that will probably never be finished! Yaaay! This one concerns magical stones, precious stones and all forms of jewellery or other ornamental work or luxury goods, as well as enchantment. Also textiles, because I'm not making another of these bloody things. *Please see User\_blog:Arathorstories/Wiley\_and\_Sons for questions or concerns.*

## Stones - Magical

Kor gems, used by the Naga, may hold all forms of magical power. They are potentially extraordinarily powerful, and all jewellers contracted to work with them should exercise the utmost caution!

Tol'viri Sunstone.

Sapphires, suitably enchanted, reveal hidden things. Magical sapphires of Blackfathom Deeps.

Rubies are used by the Drakkari as major enchanted stones.

Amethysts and rose quarts both have magical uses.
Soulgems may be mundane stones enchanted or made of the hearts of the soul's body.

Enchanted emeralds protecting the lost city of Galhara.

Not exactly a stone, but. Inkgill Jinyu bind their souls to pearls.

## Stones - Mundane

*Including both precious stones and gemstones*.

A variety of blue and purple crystals were a common choice for architectural flair in Draenic architecture, particularly for candelabras. Such crystals might also be enchanted to serve a variety of purposes.

Lapis lazuli, turqoise as scarab centrepieces by the Tol'vir.

Amethysts feature in Qiraji works.

Diamonds, among the Draeneiand Highborne, Goblins

Unnamed semi-precious blue stones.

Chrysoberyls, garnets, onyx, emeralds, black opals, amethysts and topaz all exist.

Opals, used by Trolls.

Rubies for the highest of the Highborne, also in general use. See also emeralds.

Star diamonds are so named for the light that glows inside them. Worn as hair decoration by Azshara.

Jade is utilized by the Jinyu for ceremonial purposes, as well as the Pandaren.

Sapphires utilized by the Pandaren for Niuzao's eyes.

## Metal Ornamentation

### Amulets

One unusual fashion statement among the Kaldorei is the so-called 'wisp amulet', an exquisite piece of interlocking hoops and rods of gold with an enchanted emerald in the centre. These emeralds hold either the visage of, or an actual, wisp, reflecting the immortal nature of the soul.

Heavy iron amulets as 'jewellery' among the Mogu.

Among the Vrykul, one legendary golden amulet stands above all others. Stolen from the battered corpse of King Ymiron, the Gold Amulet of the Vrykul Kings is one of the heaviest golden amulets ever cast. Its whereabouts are unknown, but it would be extremely valuable both to the Vrykul and to any museum of discretion.

### Buckles

Brass buckles date back to before the War of Three Hammers for the Dwarves, and remain a popular choice today. The lustre and gleam of brass, with its warmth, makes it an appealing material to offset otherwise plain attire. Many of these buckles bear a form of heraldric badge or a stylized engraving.

### Bracelets, Bangles, Etc

Jade and gold feature heavily in Troll bracelets, but increasingly, silver does as well. One particularly striking specimen presented to the office was decorated with pierced Trollish coinage, depicting the crude visages of leering female faces; the exact symbolism or purpose is unknown, but the piece's value is higher for it.

Draenei dancers wore exotic anklets of a 'purple metal' of which our finest jewellers are unable to identify; decorated with golden bells and beads of blown yellow glass. The number of bells indicated social position. Draenic culture, prior to their great fall, was extraordinarily baroque.

### Drinking Vessels

Pewter, usually in its holloware compositions, has a storied tradition of use as a prestige good among the Dwarven drinking culture.Cite error: Closing `</ref>` missing for `<ref>` tag

Crystal vials, etc.

Among the vrykul, hollowed animal-horns decorated with intricate rune-work and silver inlay. Rare and highly valuable both to the Vrykul and to the collector!

### Earrings

Troll designs often incorporate gold and feathers from colourful tropical birds, often designed to serve as both the initial and the decorative piercing as the regenerative nature of the Troll's flesh prohibits the usual lengthy healing processes employed by other races.

Worn by Dwarven men. Check the Vanilla intro!

### Pins, Brooches, Etc

Silver and malachite hairpins among the Kaldorei.

Jade badges among the Mogu.

Gold and white enamel badges for the Theramore guards.

### Necklaces

Silver neck torcs among the Dwarves.

Pink pearls, carefully cultivated with magic, were a popular choice for necklaces among the Highborne. Especially popular among the coastal cities of the Kaldorei Empire, they are increasingly rare today and of significant value.

Bronze wires twisted into elaborate thorn motifs feature prominently in Vrykul craftsmanship; sometimes with thorns facing inwards to rub and scratch at the throat. The reason why is uncertain, but perhaps an indicator of some religious or magical purpose. Such samples, all the same, sell at a higher rate.

Scarab and stone motifs among the Tol'vir. Gold also used, and bronze.

Pearl necklaces in Lordaeron.

Semi-precious stones on silver chain.

### Rings

The strange and alien Nerubian people forged a number of so-called 'spider-rings', built of simple metals capped with a hollowed ruby filled with enchanted, eternally-living spiderlings. Such frightening and gruesome jewellery is thankfully rare.

Gold and turquoise rings of the Tol'vir.

Nose rings among the Gordok.

### Miscellanea

Silver utilized for scroll cases by the Kaldorei, often extremely ornamented.

Bronze used by the Kaldorei for wind chimes, sometimes enchanted, using naturalist themes.

Gold web patterns on Nerubian artifacts.

Gold chandeliers in Lordaeron.

Decorative brass bells with a Gryphon motif in Grim Batol.

The Crown of Kings was forged of gold decorated with platinum wire-work, emeralds, and a black opal.

Chromium coasters and mithril watches (Stop and wrist).

Silver breastplates for Suramar temple guards. Brass oil lamps among the Highborne.

Silver circlet for Jaina. Gold ones, too. Seasonal!

Mithril rimmed glasses.

## Clothing

The notoriously garish Highborne fashions, made with silk, satin, etc.

Lacquered wood utilized for cloak clasps by the Kaldorei, often with an animal motif.

Animal parts, especially proto-dragon teeth and claws, used by the Vrykul in brooches and pins.

Feathers used to decorate Tauren clothing in Mulgore.

Springpaw pelts make excellent furs.
Pre-Sundering silks for the Kaldorei, gold dyed and transparent robes (for Azshara).

Pre-sundering fashions also included Highborne clothing of turqoise robes with silver embroidery, red and orange Highborne robes with diamond sequins. Green, yellow and blue dyes for commoners. Green hooded robes for the Moon Guard. Green, orange and purple cloak for the dandy Stareye - garish, garish taste. Highborne robe, silver, turqoise, red fabric. Ornamental crests of nightsaber fur.

Runecloth cloaks for Lordaeron's aristocracy. Also worn, with mageweave, by Varian as a child. Red, blue and purple dyes for Lordaeron's aristocracy; gold embroidery on the King's robe. Linen in use even for nobility.

Very pale blues for Kul Tiran/Dalaranian aristocracy.Cite error: Closing `</ref>` missing for `<ref>` tag Mageweave robes.

## Miscellanea

Ivory inlaid with seashells (particularly nautilus) was a popular choice for combs for the wealthy of the Kaldorei Empire.

Gahr'zilla is a popular motif among the Farraki.

Dragon and fish motifs in Vrykul crafting. While rare until recently, Vrykul goods are increasingly popular as items of sale to museums and private human collectors seeking a connection with their ancestors.

Flourescent lacquers in gold, green and purple from Azjol'Nerub are in constant demand, but are extremely difficult - and dangerous - to acquire. Gold and blue enamels too.

Clay glazes in turqouise, green and sand hues from the Tol'vir.

Brass apothecary tins from Pandaria.

Bronze mirror frames in Pandaria, used to hold glass.

The ivory table of Lordaeron, gifted from Northern Vassals.

Dwarven false teeth, made of dark iron, gold, and silver.

Porcelain dishes in Stormwind.

Jade statues, gold goblets, silver bars, gilded ringmail and silver-plated armour in the Utgarde hoard.

Bone, clay, stone, silver, gold, crystal, bronze and ivory scarabs from the Qiraji.

Ivory throne for Azshara.

Copper braziers of the Amani.

## Musical Instruments

Small, seven-stringed harps among the Draenei.

## Religious Wares

Among the followers of Snake loa, jade serpents are a popular fetishistic item. Sometimes further decorated with other stones (one striking example has ruby eyes), many of these small figures are designed with sharp teeth and hinged jaws for the purpose of drawing blood during rituals.

Totemic wolf figurines among the Orcs of Draenor.

Memorial figurines among the Tol'vir, often made of clay, sometimes set with precious stones. One excellent example seen by this office held emerald eyes in finely crafted sockets.

Funerary statuettes among the Pandaren, often of gold.

Ivory idols of Elune.

The royal chapel's golden, jewel-inlaid ceremonial chalice.

Silver heads on Paladin hammers (or at least Arthas's initiatory one); coupled with silver shoulderguards, and a blue stole.

The animist religion of the Oracles utilizes goretalon roc claws and emperor cobra fangs.

## Toys

Ancient Night Elf dolls, at least for those of relative wealth, were made with porcelain hands and feet, silk garments, and real hair. Surviving pieces are highly sought after by both the Kaldorei and in the Eastern Kingdoms for their extraordinary age and precious craftsmanship, and for the low-level magic that has allowed them to endure the millennia.

Glass animals, multicoloured and finely crafted, are an old Kaldorei favourite..

Contrary to the perception of the Kaldorei as technology shunning savages, music boxes are another old favourite.

## Textiles

Kaldorei Spider's Silk, an extraordinarily strong but delicate and sheer material that runs through a gamut of subtle colour under light. Yes, more spider-silk among the Pandaren!

Canvas in Pandaria. Jinyu silk.

Insect-wing 'cloth', windwool, and imperial silk by the Mantids.

Silk curtains in Lordaeron.Purple silk banners for Ravencrest.

Satin for the Elves!

Cotton, utilized for bandages by the Alliance.
