Love, Etched in Time: The Significance of Engraved Jewellery

Jewellery has long been a way to express love, honor memories, and celebrate meaningful moments. Among the various forms of adornments, engraved jewellery stands out as a timeless keepsake that captures emotions and preserves memories. Whether it’s a piece of footprint jewellery, a personalised necklace, or a classic engraved ring, these treasures tell a story that lasts forever.

Why Engraved Jewellery Holds Special Meaning

Engraved jewellery isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about the deeper connection it creates. Here are some reasons why engraved jewellery is so significant:

Symbol of Love: Names, dates, or meaningful phrases etched into jewellery serve as constant reminders of affection and commitment.

Celebration of Memories: From milestones like weddings and anniversaries to the birth of a child, engraved jewellery immortalises life’s most cherished events.

Unique Personalisation: No two pieces are ever the same, making engraved jewellery a one-of-a-kind accessory that reflects individual stories.

The Unique Appeal of Footprint Jewellery

Footprint jewellery has gained immense popularity for its deeply personal and emotional resonance. It’s a beautiful way to capture the tiny imprints of a baby’s feet or a loved one’s unique marks, turning them into a cherished piece of art.

Why Choose Footprint Jewellery?

Sentimental Value: It holds a special place in the hearts of parents and grandparents as a reminder of a child’s earliest days.

Timeless Keepsake: Footprint jewellery doesn’t just mark a moment; it becomes an heirloom to pass down through generations.

Customisable Designs: Combine the footprints with names, birthdates, or even a heartfelt message for added meaning.

Personalised Jewellery: Expressing Individuality

Personalised jewellery goes beyond engravings, allowing for a wide range of customisations to reflect your unique identity and relationships. Popular options include:

Initials and Names: Perfect for bracelets, pendants, and rings.

Significant Dates: A wedding anniversary or the day a child was born can be elegantly inscribed.

Symbols and Motifs: Hearts, infinity signs, or other meaningful icons add a visual representation of your story.

Choosing the Perfect Engraved Jewellery

Selecting the right  engraved jewellery  requires thoughtful consideration to ensure it reflects your emotions and the significance of the moment. Here are some tips to guide you:

Define Its Purpose: Is it a gift, a memento, or a daily wearable piece? Knowing its purpose helps you narrow down the design and style.

Pick High-Quality Materials: Precious metals like gold, silver, or platinum ensure durability and timeless beauty.

Choose a Skilled Artisan: Work with experienced jewellers who can bring your vision to life with precision and care.

Decide on the Personalisation: From simple initials to intricate footprints, think about what holds the most meaning for you or the recipient.

Caring for Your Engraved Jewellery

To preserve the beauty and significance of your engraved jewellery, proper care is essential:

Clean Regularly: Use a soft cloth and gentle jewellery cleaner to maintain shine and prevent tarnishing.

Store Safely: Keep your pieces in a dedicated jewellery box to avoid scratches.

Handle with Care: Avoid exposing your jewellery to harsh chemicals or wearing it during strenuous activities.

A Gift That Stands the Test of Time

Engraved jewellery is more than an accessory; it’s a heartfelt expression of love and memory. Whether you’re drawn to the delicate charm of footprint jewellery, the individuality of personalised jewellery, or the timeless appeal of engraved designs, these pieces ensure your emotions and stories are forever etched in time.

Choose engraved jewellery to celebrate the moments that matter most and create a lasting legacy of love.

Eco-friendly jewellery is made from materials that are safe for the environment. They will last for a long time. This also means that the materials used to make it have the least negative effect on the environment.

The world bent and, like Beleriand before it, Elenna was no more. But as a stone cast in a still pool sets a bright autumn leaf sailing to its hoary edges, the ships of the Faithful rode the wake of their kingdom’s downfall to the shores of Middle-earth. 

Elendil and his sons observed no period of mourning, left no empty space in which to contemplate their loss: almost at once they set footprints of great cities atop the villages of Eriador. Monuments to their strength, their survival. 

Soon, Elendil wrote, soon there would be time to visit the Last Homely House. But as the years wore on, it became clear that if Elrond wished to meet his brother’s proud heir he would need to make the journey to Annúminas himself. 

“You look so like him,” were the first words the King of the Exiles spoke to the Lord of Rivendell, once the door of his meeting chamber was shut behind them. Before, he had stared, as he had failed to hide his astonishment — and, it might be said, discomfiture — behind a kingly reception. 

“Who?” Elrond asked with half a smile, knowing full well who he meant. 

“Elros,” Elendil answered, completely serious. “The statues and portraits—”

“Yes, he was my twin.”

Elendil shook his head, abashed. “I am sorry, I suppose it is… Artists are known to flatter their royal subjects. You do not think, seeing the statue of a king of legend, that he might really have looked so in life.”

Elrond laughed. “You have something of him in yourself, too, lord.” He did not say it was his self-assurance, his candour that nearly overstepped the bounds of common courtesy. For all it had irked him at times, Elrond had ever admired his brother’s boldness and was pleased to see it had not been dulled over the generations, even in the more humble strain of his descendants. 

“Call me not lord,” said Elendil, then laughed and swept an arm across the room, beckoning Elrond towards a sumptuous green settee by the window. “But come, come. Let me have wine and cheeses brought — or perhaps you wish to eat a proper meal? I am sorry, you have come a long way, you must be tired. A bath, perhaps, and then we can meet again at supper?”

“No, no, I have all I need. I was hosted well at an inn on your city’s borders yesternight.”

“An inn!” Elendil cried. “You ought to have come at once to the palace.”

“My arrival was late.”

“Nonetheless,” Elendil said, and called to a servant positioned outside. “Solmion, have food and wine brought to us.” Sitting, he again addressed Elrond. “I do wish you had sent word of your coming. We would have had rooms and a great reception prepared.”

Elrond nodded and smiled graciously. He did not tell the king that his promises of pomp were the very reason Elrond had given no notice of his coming. 

* * *

Elendil’s wine cup barely touched his mouth, so absorbed was he in tales of his ambition, his hopes for Endor. His hands flew expressively as he spoke, and Elrond's eyes returned always to the ring adorning the index finger of his right hand: the green emerald crowned in gold, the serpents devouring each other. The ring of Barahir: Elrond knew it from the histories, though how it came out of the ruin of Beleriand, he could not say. For all its fame in the great tales, a ring must have seemed but a small token in those days when Elros’ ships were laden with all the surviving heirlooms of Men and Elves. Now, many of those had no doubt been lost, and Elrond noted how securely the ring circled his finger, as though it had become a part of his hand — for so jewellery appears when seldom, if ever, removed from the wearer. 

Elrond wore no such jewels.

Only one heirloom had come into Elrond’s hands, passed quietly from Gil-galad’s safekeeping, as if the High King felt some consolation was needed for all the times he had been passed over in favour of Elros. Elrond accepted the gift with gratitude, but in truth he had felt no jealousy for the many reminders of their legacy that had been heaped upon his brother the king. The heavy longsword, moreover, had never been Elrond’s weapon. For many centuries now Narsil had lain unused, awaiting a more fitting bearer.

Elrond bore it with him to Annúminas, for he had heard the sword of Elu Thingol had been lost at last in Pharazôn’s ignominious fall. 

“The work of Telchar!” Elendil exclaimed, admiring the well-balanced blade. “How have I heard no rumour of this weapon?”

“Alas,” Elrond answered, “the heirlooms of the Edain are often overshadowed by those of the Eldar.”

Elendil hummed his agreement, not taking his eyes from the sword.

“I am told,” Elrond elaborated, “that it  was commissioned by Felagund for Bëor the Old and became, for a while, the sword of his House. But Barahir sent it from Dorthonion with his wife, Emeldir Manhearted. Its history in Brethil is obscure, but it was kept by those peoples in honour, for it was carried with them to the Havens of Sirion and thence to Balar. Gil-galad entrusted it to me —but ever has it sat uneasily in my hands.”

“Nonetheless, it is a generous gift.” Elendil sheathed the sword. “You can be assured that I and my heirs will bear it with honour, Elrond son of Eärendil.”

* * *

Great as its deeds had been, it was all too short a time before Narsil returned to Imladris in shards.

Elrond balanced them upon his lap as young Valandil played among the wildflowers, uncomprehending of his doom. Tears gathered in Elrond’s eyes and wet his cheeks. Such premature grief was ever the price of foresight. Somewhere, Sauron’s Ring survived. Long would be the road and many the losses before Elendil’s sword was lifted once again against the shadow of evil.

Cazador's little dungeon is located in close proximity to the temple. Were there ever some sort of run ins or disputes between neighbours? After a successful sacrifice, all cult members are encouraged to take their victim's possessions. What's the one thing Durge claimed like that way that they're most proud of? What did they leave behind on purpose?

Ask meme here!

13. Cazador's little dungeon is located in close proximity to the temple. Were there ever some sort of run ins or disputes between neighbours?

I really want to say that Cazador didn't even register on the Bhaalists radar? Just because Cazador really doesn't seem to have any footprint on the culture or political landscape of Baldur's Gate at all, and that might just be due to the rushed nature of Act 3 overall, but I think it's just so funny to consider that the Bhaalists were fully aware of what was going on next door and just didn't give a shit. Not only that, they looked down their noses at those damned weird vampires, lowering the property values with their thousands of damned pets. You mean to tell me they have thousands of potential murder victims in the basement that they aren't murdering???? Disgraceful. They'll be bringing this up at the next Homeowners Association meeting

11. After a successful sacrifice, all cult members are encouraged to take their victim's possessions. What's the one thing Durge claimed like that way that they're most proud of? What did they leave behind on purpose?

Man it's hard to think of something Kass was particularly proud of.. when she was younger she was a vain little magpie so she loved to take jewellery and pocket watches and all kinds of shinies and trinkets. As she got older (and after Bhaal's resurrection) it wasn't fun anymore and she only ever took things as part of the tithe.

She did enjoy taking Bhaal's right hand when he killed Heron but she had to keep him alive to keep things in balance so that doesn't quite count

The Black Glass Collar

(This is me playing about with a concept in another story, however I’m using fanfiction to put it to context.)

(Game: Mortal Kombat 1, 2023. Alternate Universe.)

Shang Tsung smirked from his throne. Today was going to be a good day.

Quan Chi presented a purple box approximately the size of a record sleeve, its depth approximately one third of its width. The necromaner opened the hinged lid; the sorcerer clapped his hands together and let out a little chuckle.

“It’s perfect,” he proclaimed. “But who should I test it on?”

“Why not test like for like?” Quan Chi offered. Shang Tsung hummed in affirmation as he pondered the necromancer’s words. He reached for the open box, green magic swirling from his fingers as he muttered a spell. The magic faded almost as quickly as it illuminated, whispers of the spell still lingering in the air between the two objects. Quan Chi closed the box and mirrored Shang Tsung’s triumphant expression with one of his own.

The doors to the throne room were busted wide open, revealing a rather angry cryomancer stalking in. Icy footprints showed the path he’d taken to to get to his destination.

“Always a pleasure to have your company, Sub-Zero,” drawled the sorcerer.

“You lying bastard!” Bi-Han snarled, his vaporised breath puffing through his mask

“No hello?” Quan Chi quipped.

“You swore that she would be unharmed!” The sorcerer’s smirk grew. So that’s what this was about. “You have breached the terms of our agreement!”

“Are you finished championing yourself?” He sounded almost bored at the accusations levelled against him, despite the fact that they were completely true. “I did swear that she would be unharmed, however that only extended to my own hand.” Through the open doors came a group of Shao’s loyalist soldiers, two of them dragging a familiar figure between the. Shao himself and Reiko brought up the rear, the lieutenant carrying a pike with a bloodied head.

“It must be a requisite for all sorcerers to have sharp tongues,” said Shao. “She responded rather poorly to our…method of questioning.”

“Ask something smarter next time, jackass,” Tora spat, looking up toward the throne. “Hello, bitch.”

“A vision of loveliness as always, my dear,” Shang Tsung said, mocking a bow. The smears of blood on her face really brought out the ire burning in her eyes.

Bi-Han growled and stepped forward to reach the female sorcerer, but only managed a few steps; hands colder than his own gripped at his wrists and elbows to force them behind his back. Looking over his shoulder, the cryomancer saw Quan Chi holding out a single glowing hand, the shadows of chains linking the two of them together.

“You’ll go nowhere, boy,” said the necromancer.

“Let him go, death breath!” Tora exclaimed, writhing against the grip on her arms. Shang Tsung slowly looked between the female sorcerer and the cryomancer, pieces falling together in his brain. He looked to Quan Chi and flicked his head; the necromancer twitched his glowing hand in response. Bi-Han’s wrists pulsed with energy, making him cry out in shock and pain. Quan Chi twitched his hand again and more spirit chains wrapped around the cryomancer’s legs to force him to his knees. Shang Tsung flicked his head a second time, and a series of magical pulses made Bi-Han suppress a yell.

Golden eyes spat fire at the male sorcerer. “Stop it, Shang Tsung!” He raised both eyebrows at the use of his real name, more pieces falling into place.

“Interesting…” he mused.

“I’ll do you a deal,” Tora said. That intrigued him. “If I can guess something about what’s in that jewellery box of yours, you let Sub-Zero go.”

Shang Tsung fixed a stare at the female sorcerer. “Why this box, specifically?”

“Because Dead Hand Dick over there hasn’t let go of it since we got in. In fact, I’d say he’s actually held it tighter.” The necromancer offered a half-hearted shrug at the pointed glances he received. Shang Tsung called the box over to his hands with a small tug of magic and held it expectantly.

“I accept, my dear. Please release the dear so that she can make her guess.” Shao grunted, and the two guards complied with the male sorcerer’s request. Reiko moved forward to protest, but the warlord held him back with a pat on the shoulder.

“We will get our chance,” he reminded the lieutenant. Tora threw a side glance at the two warriors as she shook out her arms, blood returning to her extremities. She chanced a look at Bi-Han, who strained against his own binds and fixed her with a searching look, and returned her eyes to the box.

She finally sighed. “I don’t know what shape it’s taken, but I know that it’s made of black glass.” The silence that descended around the room was enough to smother a wildfire.

“You know of black glass, then?” Quan Chi asked.

“Every spellcaster worth their magic knows of black glass. Most never experience it,” replied the female sorcerer.

“Then I guess today will be your lucky day, my dear.” Shang Tsung’s lips curled into a devilish smile as he opened the box, revealing an open ring of obsidian nestled on a white satin cushion. Tora had only seconds to register that she was correct before it lifted itself of its own accord and flew toward her, clasping itself around her neck.

“Tora!” Bi-Han’s eyes widened and he pulled harder on his restraints. Tora’s hands flew to her throat and clawed at the collar newly fastened around her neck; green rings began to glow around it as the magic Shang Tsung had bestowed earlier began to take effect. This new magic flooded her system and clashed with her own and caused silent screams to rip themselves from her throat as the pain burned all over her body. Sinking to her knees, one hand barely supporting her struggling system, she managed to lift her head and glare at the male sorcerer.

“What the hell have you done to me?!” she grit out.

“For someone so knowledgeable in black glass, I am rather disappointed you do not recognise the enchantment.” Shang Tsung shook his head and clicked his tongue disapprovingly. There was a shit-eating grin on his face that the female sorcerer wanted to blast off…if she could move…or…

“You blocked my magic?!” Another wave of pain caused her elbows to tremble; each movement she made was costing more energy as time went on.

“While you are more useful to me alive, I cannot have you in a position of advantage,” said the male sorcerer. He turned to Shao and Reiko. “I believe that Sub-Zero would make a fine top-tier kombatant in your new arena, yes?” Tora scrabbled at the ground as she frantically tried to stand up. Bi-Han leaned his body forward to try and move himself toward the female sorcerer.

“You…” The collar acted as a counterweight to her plan of straightening up. “You…” Her vision began to swim. Shang Tsung placed a gentle hand on her head, a warm magic emanating from it and causing her eyes to droop.

“Rest, my dear. You will need your strength,” he cooed, watching as she slowly fell into unconsciousness.

“You snake!” Bi-Han roared. Reddening lines appeared on his arms where the shackles held him in place, ice creeping over them to make them visible. Quan Chi dismissed the restraints and chuckled as the cryomancer nearly faceplanted with the momentum of his movements. As he began to right himself, Reiko rushed forward and pointed the bloody pike at his throat.

“Grab him.” The two soldiers that held Tora raced forward to grab Bi-Han and drag him the rest of the way to his feet.

“I am inclined to believe the sorcerer regarding my arena,” growled Shao.

“Remember, he must remain alive for the pact to remain active,” Shang Tsung pointed out as the warlord prepared to leave the room.

As he was dragged past the male sorcerer, the cryomancer glared at him. “If you spill even a single drop of Tora’s blood, I will be the one to kill you,” he hissed, the soldiers quickly shuffling him away.

Quan Chi scoffed. “Better to have him die in his servitude.” Shang Tsung carefull lifted Tora into his arms, ensuring her head was propped against his shoulder. The obsidian collar around her neck gleamed in the light of the room.

“Their deaths would be unnecessarily excessive,” he said. “Besides, it will be hard to lure the other fighters to Shao’s arena with their corpses.” Today was going to be a very good day, indeed.

Lab Grown Diamond Jewellery 💍 https://www.etsy.com/shop/PureStarDiamonds?ref=seller-platform-mcnav&section_id=48330515

The Sparkling Future of Luxury: Lab-Grown Diamond Jewellery 💍

In recent years, lab-grown diamonds have emerged as a revolutionary option in the world of fine jewelry. Offering the same brilliance and beauty as mined diamonds, these gems are quickly becoming the go-to choice for environmentally and ethically conscious consumers. But what exactly are lab-grown diamonds, and why are they gaining so much popularity? Let's delve into the world of these stunning, sustainable gems.

What Are Lab-Grown Diamonds?

Lab-grown diamonds, also known as synthetic or cultured diamonds, are created in a controlled laboratory environment using advanced technological processes that mimic the natural formation of diamonds. These processes involve high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD), both of which produce diamonds that are chemically, physically, and optically identical to those found in nature.

The Benefits of Lab-Grown Diamonds

Ethical Sourcing: Traditional diamond mining has long been associated with environmental destruction, human rights violations, and unethical labor practices. Lab-grown diamonds, however, are produced without the need for mining, ensuring that they are free from these ethical concerns. Consumers can enjoy their jewelry with the peace of mind that comes from knowing their diamonds are conflict-free.

Environmental Sustainability: Mining for natural diamonds can have a devastating impact on the environment, including deforestation, soil erosion, and habitat destruction. Lab-grown diamonds, on the other hand, have a significantly smaller environmental footprint. The production process requires less energy and water and generates fewer carbon emissions, making them a more sustainable choice.

Affordability: One of the most attractive benefits of lab-grown diamonds is their cost. These diamonds are generally 20-40% less expensive than their mined counterparts, making luxury more accessible to a broader audience. This price difference allows consumers to invest in higher quality or larger diamonds without breaking the bank.

Quality and Variety: Lab-grown diamonds are available in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and colors, offering more variety for consumers. Advances in technology also mean that lab-grown diamonds can be produced with fewer inclusions and impurities, resulting in exceptional clarity and brilliance.

Embracing the Future of Jewelry

As more consumers become aware of the benefits of lab-grown diamonds, the demand for these ethical and sustainable gems continues to rise. Major jewelry brands and designers are incorporating lab-grown diamonds into their collections, offering everything from engagement rings and wedding bands to earrings, necklaces, and bracelets.

Whether you are looking for a stunning engagement ring that symbolizes your commitment to a better future or a beautiful piece of jewelry to celebrate a special occasion, lab-grown diamonds provide a modern, responsible choice that doesn't compromise on beauty or quality.

Conclusion

Lab-grown diamond jewelry represents the perfect fusion of innovation and elegance. These gems offer all the sparkle and allure of traditional diamonds while aligning with contemporary values of sustainability and ethical sourcing. By choosing lab-grown diamonds, you are not only investing in a piece of exquisite jewelry but also supporting a brighter, more sustainable future for our planet.

Discover the dazzling world of lab-grown diamonds today and let your jewelry make a statement of both style and conscience. 💍✨

Uther Pendragon, King of Camelot, came awake with a sneeze. Several sneezes. As undignified as it felt, he wasn’t the only one sneezing, the majority of his advisers sat along the table were sneezing too. Many of them were looking around in bewilderment, as though looking for a reason for the sudden bout.

The reason lay obvious in the thick layer of dust that coated the table. That lay on the floors around them, undisturbed by footprints or the movement of the air. Dust covered every surface of the room, and it covered them all, layering their clothes and skin, turning their hair grey, tarnishing the jewellery they wore, the very crown on his head.

“What is the meaning of this?” He demanded, surging to his feet. The action kicked up yet more dust and he sneezed again. His clothes were heavy with it. “Sorcery!” he snarled, for it had to be, there could be no other explanation for the grime coating them all. “Guards!” he shouted but already the doors were opening, and a pair of his guards were surging inside.

“Sire,” the one on the left called, “magic!”

Uther wanted to make a pithy comment in response but the urgency in the man’s voice forestalled him. “Explain,” he ordered.

Why Personalised Jewellery Makes the Most Memorable Heirlooms

Heirlooms are much more than objects; they are storytellers, carrying the emotions, values, and memories of generations past. Among the many treasures passed down through families, personalised jewellery stands out as a deeply meaningful choice. With its unique ability to encapsulate personal stories and preserve cherished moments, engraved jewellery becomes a timeless legacy. Here’s why personalised jewellery makes the most memorable heirlooms and how it connects generations in an enduring way.

1. A Tangible Link to Personal Stories

Each piece of personalised jewellery holds a story, making it more than just an accessory. Whether it’s a ring engraved with a wedding date or a pendant inscribed with a loved one’s initials, these details create a connection to significant life moments. As an heirloom, such jewellery allows future generations to glimpse the lives, relationships, and milestones of their ancestors.

For example, a simple engraved jewellery piece with a meaningful date or message can spark stories about a wedding day, a child’s birth, or a long-forgotten love letter, making it a cherished reminder of family history.

2. A Unique and Personal Touch

Unlike mass-produced items, personalised jewellery is truly one of a kind. Customisation allows for a deeply personal connection that resonates with both the giver and the recipient. When passed down as an heirloom, these unique pieces carry an individuality that generic items simply cannot replicate.

From monograms to meaningful quotes, engraved jewellery can reflect the wearer’s personality, making it a treasured keepsake for future generations. This personal touch ensures that the jewellery isn’t just valuable but irreplaceable.

3. Timeless Elegance

Jewellery’s enduring appeal lies in its timeless beauty. When crafted from high-quality materials such as gold, silver, or platinum, and paired with thoughtful engravings, personalised jewellery remains relevant and elegant across generations. Its classic design ensures that it can be cherished and worn by descendants for years to come.

Engraved jewellery also has the flexibility to blend tradition with modernity. A vintage piece might feature a traditional engraving style, while newer pieces can incorporate contemporary designs, bridging the past and present seamlessly.

4. Preserving Sentimental Value

Heirlooms are not just about monetary worth; their true value lies in the emotions and memories they represent. Personalised jewellery, especially when it includes engravings of names, dates, or heartfelt messages, becomes a vessel for love and sentiment.

For instance, a necklace engraved with “Forever in My Heart” might remind a family of a beloved ancestor, while a bracelet with children’s names connects future generations to their lineage. Such deeply emotional tokens become irreplaceable family treasures.

5. Versatility Across Generations

One of the beauties of personalised jewellery is its adaptability. A classic engraved ring, pendant, or bracelet can easily transition through generations, suiting different styles and tastes. Unlike other heirlooms, jewellery is wearable and can be enjoyed regularly, ensuring it remains an active part of family life rather than sitting forgotten in a drawer.

6. Celebrating Heritage and Legacy

Passing down personalised jewellery as an heirloom is a way of honoring family heritage and continuing traditions. For example, engraving a family motto, crest, or symbol can celebrate the family’s identity. Similarly, jewellery pieces that commemorate important moments—such as a locket with wedding photos or a ring inscribed with an anniversary date—become enduring symbols of love and unity.

7. A Gift That Keeps Giving

Personalised jewellery is not only meaningful for the first recipient but also for every generation that inherits it. Each new wearer adds their own memories and significance to the piece, enriching its story over time. A simple engraved pendant might start as a wedding gift but later become a keepsake for a child or grandchild, carrying layers of meaning with each transition.

Conclusion

Personalised jewellery is much more than a beautiful accessory; it’s a treasure trove of memories, emotions, and stories that transcend time. With its ability to preserve personal connections and adapt to changing generations, engraved jewellery becomes an irreplaceable family heirloom. By gifting or creating personalised jewellery, you’re not just giving a present—you’re creating a legacy that will be cherished for years to come.

Okay it’s raw brain mode since I woke up not too long ago and I gotta get ready for work. Also for simplicity we’re gonna call it “lived to the modern era” because I have different ideas for an AU specifically set in the modern day. (Will I write it out? Depends on if prompted because otherwise it’s just gonna float around in my brain soup.) Also, wifey and Zhongli are keeping a low profile since he’s supposed to be dead, but the kids can be open about their identities.

Zhongli and wifey: Wifey is still doing art, but they have to be very careful about it. They have to pretend that instead of doing art for thousands of years that they actually come from a family of artists. I feel like Zhongli isn’t too picky what his job would be, my brain says historian, teacher, or maybe still funeral consultant. One thing’s for sure: they’re still married.

Yánjiāng: His love of cats has paid off and he now has a cat cafe. Is this a goofy idea? Yes. Absolutely. 100%. But people kept asking about him and cats so I gotta make a reference lmao. I’ve got a cold and am still tired, forgive me. The cats like to snuggle his tail after hours.

Lihua: A lot of modelling/fashion. I always imagine her wearing traditional and very ornately designed hanfu, so I also see her being one of those tiktokers/youtubers that critiques how period accurate costume designs in movies are.

Zhusha: A lot of pottery (better than whatever that thing in the museum is...). But like honestly I can see her doing a lot of art things and following in her mother’s footprints. Her preferred medium is sculpting. When she’s not designing/making statues, she’s running one of those pottery stores where you go in, pick a premade cup or bowl or whatever, and paint it. (I wanna go to one of those again soon...)

Yaling: So beta gave me the idea that she finds good high quality ore for mining. I think she still does that, however she’s become fascinated by those lab grown gems I hear about every once in a while. I feel like in the modern age she would also start looking into that. Granted she can literally just make crystals on her own but the people can’t, so y’know. Also hates Musk for all that shit about the emerald mine so it’s both “this is better for the environment/safety of the people plus oooo modern science” and “fuck that guy.”

Feng: Still does blacksmithing obviously but I feel like he’s also become like... this big himbo nerd. He makes regular blades and jewellery but sometimes he makes functional replicas of weapons and costume pieces from books and shows he likes. Yaling gives him shit for it whenever he asks for highly specific stones. “Nerd.” “Oh come on! So we can’t make fun of Yánjiāng for the cat cafe but we can pick on Feng for making a functional hat with hidden blades?” “First off, we do. Second, you stole that from that one jojo guy that kinda sounds like dad.” “... Shut up.”

With identical properties to mined diamonds, these gorgeous diamond pendants for women provide an eco-friendly and affordable alternative without compromising on beauty. As more consumers embrace this trend, it’s reshaping the jewellery industry towards responsible luxury.

Luxury has always been synonymous with rarity, beauty, and an air of exclusivity. But today, a new dimension has been added to the definition of luxury—sustainability.

Among the growing range of lab-grown diamond jewellery, solitaire pendants are taking the spotlight. They combine timeless elegance with modern values, making them a perfect symbol of sustainable luxury.

Let’s understand why one of the most loved diamond pendants for women is gaining popularity!

What Are Lab-Grown Diamonds?

Before diving into solitaire pendants, let’s understand what lab-grown diamonds are. These are not imitations or "fake diamonds." They are real diamonds, identical in chemical, physical, and optical properties to mined diamonds. The difference lies in their origin. While natural diamonds are formed deep within the Earth's crust over billions of years, lab-grown diamonds are created in controlled environments using advanced technology that replicates natural processes.

In short, lab-grown diamonds offer the same brilliance, hardness, and allure as mined diamonds—without the environmental and ethical concerns often associated with traditional diamond mining.

Why Lab-Grown Diamonds Are Gaining Popularity

Sustainability

Diamond mining is resource-intensive, requiring significant land, water, and energy. It often leads to environmental degradation. In contrast, lab-grown diamonds have a much smaller ecological footprint. Their production uses less water, generates fewer carbon emissions, and doesn’t contribute to habitat destruction.

Ethical Sourcing

Affordability

Technological Excellence

What Makes a Solitaire Diamond Pendant So Special
