Golden Goddess Gemworks

Divine Jewels for the Everyday GoddessBalmung, Mist, Ward 5, Apartment 32Open by appointment.Located in a rented basement in a rather undesirable section of Ul'dah, this gaudy shop is the definition of tacky extavagance and pointless excess, from the faux stained glass windows to the oversized, painted plaster statues in stuffed into every corner. The pieces they sell seem quality enough--but there's something just a bit... off about this glittering, garish little store tucked away in the shadows.

OOC Information

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! Golden Goddess Gemworks is a tacky little jewelry shop in one of the worst areas of Ul'dah. At the store, they secretly sell the cursed jewelry that the resident goldsmith, Distant Sun, is fated to make. They sell indiscriminately to both unsuspecting customers and to criminal organizations/individuals looking for dangerous objects to assist in their work.We like to explore themes of morality and greed, but also a bit of general silliness and tomfoolery. While anyone is welcome to stop by, Golden Goddess staff member characters generally exist in a low-powered, lore-friendly space. Lore-bending is fine (we are obviously doing it by selling bucketloads of cursed jewelry!) but keeping things generally grounded is preferable.So what's up with these curses? For the most part, the "curse" each piece of jewelry is afflicted with is more like a minor inconvenience, or fun flavor for you to play with, than anything actually terrible. Many curses are intended to be fun, interesting, silly, or a little fantastical! When your character purchases something from Golden Goddess, the item you selected will come with one random “issue” picked from a pre-generated curse chart and you will be informed of your result OOC.

Prefer a curse that is more sinister? Some pieces in the Golden Goddess collection have some truly unforgiving curses imbued in their metals that will bring chaos, misery, or harm into the life of whoever puts them on. Please let us know OOC if you'd like to purchase one of these pieces accidentally. If your character would like to buy one intentionally, they need only ask Ahtzarael. Characters who are looking to buy dangerous or lethal pieces IC can consider themselves aware of this sales notice.Don’t feel like roleplaying out any of that, and just want to buy some cute jewelry for your character? That’s fine too! There is a very tiny selection of pieces for sale that have no ill-effects attached to them at all, and you can absolutely just roleplay that you got one of the good ones.

Want to work at the weird basement jewelry store? Okay, sure! Hit us up! Even if your character has nothing to do with the jewelry biz, I'm sure we can come up with a fun reason for them to work here. But as the staff are basically con artists selling dangerous, almost unilaterally cursed accessories, this venue is best suited to morally gray/criminally inclined characters. We also like to exist in a low-powered space that gently bends the game lore while staying grounded within it, so please keep that in mind if you reach out.Come by and visit us soon!
