Impress the barmaid when you casually lay your hand on the bar and your massive gold ring catches the torchlight. Command respect from shopkeepers as your half-dozen silver armbands advertise your wealth. Gain an audience with the Baron when they notice your bronze medal of valor from the hand of the King himself. Everyone who's anyone wears jewels, from the mightiest ruler with his crown of nineteen rubies to a shaman with his amulets of bone; from to the roughest adventurer sporting his fortune in platinum rings and diamond buckles to the simplest goodwife who would never be seen in temple without her grandmother's earrings.
