Winswand's Talismans (2)

Well, since the last time we've talked about these, one of them has already gone missing. Morporkian thieves have developed a great liking towards my Psaltery, and after about 4 attempts, have been successful in taking it away from me. I've already ordered another pearlescent velvet scarf from Enne Ira, but I think I will be too lazy to delude it until I get some better perception skills.
So... 'tis rings and bracelets today. Here we have...

Big Ben

After I discovered that hidden cafeteria we wizards have access to, I started buying some of the nice things the bar-keeper has on sale. Among these, one of the prettiest and most amusing are clockwork bands, which tell the time (or burn it in the sky) and cast Torqvald's Many Colours for free on you. I am always wearing one, and its name is pretty self-evident, isn't it?

Simple, yet elegant. Etched on a reticulated electrum band, eldritch runes supply the power used by the inner clockwork gears. The latticework is so fine, it allows for a visual of the inner workings of this masterpiece. Tiny, delicate gears hum and whistle ever so quietly as they keep stunningly accurate time.

An octarine shimmer washes across the ancient runes.

Trapped Salamander

This is one of those pieces of crystal jewellery that are ever so spammy and nice. In this case, the lines seemed to invite for a name like this one, and it surely surprises people when they see that 'The flames on your Trapped Salamander seem to dance' (among other lines).

This ring is carved from glittering crystal, with such fine chisel-strokes that the slim band seems almost perfectly rounded. Running around the outside are carven flames, seeming to dance and flicker with the light reflected from the fine facets.

Ding A Ling

This peculiar hommage to Chuck Berry required some kind of a implement with bells and spammy message. Once again, Libby Twinkle's trinklets came to the rescue. I also employ it as a talker (there it substitutes another bracelet of which we'll talk on some other occasions, as it languishes in a vault right now).

This is a fine bracelet of twisted silver filigree, from which dangles a row of tiny jet black crystal bells. Softened light glints from their facets as they rub shoulders, sending out muffled and musical chimes which peal gently with every movement.

Bolshevik

Last, not least, another item from the magic Cafeteria. Now that I look at it in perspective, it looks more like an item for a Silver Star Wizzie, and yet it looks so nice... As for the name, hammer and anvils (not sickles) made me remember the Reds before even thinking in the Stars. And I have an Archdruidic sickle deluded somewhere to a similar name (used it a lot when I relied on misc weapons, as it was light and poisonous).

This is a bracelet made of the finest and thinnest silver possible. The links of this bracelet are tiny and they hold together piping made from brushed silver of the same vein. The startling shininess of the links contrasts beautifully with the more matte flare of the piping. On opposite sides of this bracelet are strands of even thinner silver. On each strand a golden hammer or a golden anvil dangle loosely. Both are etched perfectly and each displays a relief. The anvil boasts an iconograph of a workshop, while the hammer presents small runes which glow a slight blue.
