A delicate silver chain set with a pale moonstone. The pendant hums faintly when warding magic nearby activates.

AC +1Grants +1 to AC against the first attack each combat (recharges after a short or long rest).

An enamel brooch shaped like a smiling fox. When worn pinned close to the throat it mellows a wearer's tone.

Grants advantage on one Persuasion check per short rest. Additionally, hostile creatures gain a -1 penalty to Intimidation checks against the wearer while the brooch is worn.

A tiny crystal vial filled with swirling silver mist, set into a brass filigree amulet. The wearer can feel a faint breath of cool air against their skin when danger looms.

Once per long rest, the wearer can hold their breath automatically for up to 10 minutes and gain advantage on checks to resist choking or inhaled poisons for 1 minute.

A brass locket with tiny visible gears. When opened it reveals a rotating miniature scene; it keeps a small ward inside.

AC +2Once per day the wearer can activate the locket to cast the spell 'Shield' on themselves (as the spell).

A sunburst brooch inset with a sliver of polished topaz. Emits a soft warm glow when danger approaches.

Once per short rest, as a reaction, the wearer can cause the brooch to flare, shedding bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim for another 20 feet and granting allies within 10 feet temporary hit points equal to + the wearer's Charisma modifier (min 1).

A carved mother-of-pearl feather hangs on a silken cord. The wearer moves with a near-silent tread.

Grants advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to move silently and reduces falling damage by once per fall. Usable 3 times per long rest.

A tiny glass shard sealed in a copper bezel. When pressed to torn fabric or leather it knits fibers together.

Can repair nonmagical clothing or leather items to perfect condition in 10 minutes. Once per day, it can restore HP to a nonmagical construct or animate object.

A silvery locket engraved with a tiny compass rose. When asked a simple direction it offers a whisper.

Once per short rest the wearer can concentrate for 1 minute to receive a directional whisper toward a named location within 10 miles (general direction, not exact coordinates).

A braided cord threaded with a piece of petrified wood. When worn, the skin feels like old tree bark.

Once per long rest the wearer can activate the necklace to gain the effect of the barkskin spell for 1 hour (AC set to 16 if not higher).

A narrow circlet set with three tiny moonstones. Lightly hums with planar energy.

Grants the wearer one short-range blink ability: once per short rest as a bonus action, teleport up to 15 feet to a space you can see that isn't occupied.

A handheld glass lens with an etched ring. Helps spot seams and inclusions in gems.

Grants advantage on one Perception check to find hidden gemstones or on an Investigation check relating to jewelry per day.

A small leather pouch containing ten soft cloths treated with a mild polishing oil.

Used to clean and polish jewelry; once per day allows a successful Sleight of Hand check to improve the apparent quality of a gem or piece (cosmetic only).

Plain silver chain suitable for pendants and lockets.

A plain band engraved with tiny cogs—fashioned by Merrin to include a slim glyph of warding.

AC +1Grants +1 to AC and saving throws while worn.

A palm-sized brooch shaped like a lighthouse. When clipped to clothing it can summon a small helpful glow.

Heal 1 HPOnce per long rest the wearer can expend the brooch's charge to cast 'Aid' at 2nd level on up to three creatures within 30 feet. Additionally emits dim light in a 10-foot radius while active.

A cluster of tiny charms (hammer, cog, spool) on a braided cord. Warm to the touch when tools are nearby.

Grants advantage on one tool check (tinker's tools or artisan's tools related to metalworking) per short rest.

A decent quality 1-carat ruby suitable for insetting.

A clear 1.5-carat sapphire; excellent clarity for its size.

Merrin will set any purchased gem into a pendant or brooch and add a minor non-combat enchantment (as per necklaces/brooches in stock). Takes 1 day.

Custom enchantments limited to effects similar in power to items priced 300 gp–900 gp. More powerful magic requires negotiation and licensing paperwork.

Shop Atmosphere

“Merrin talks to every item in the shop as though it were an old friend and insists on giving customers a free 'safety tap'—a light, whimsical spell that checks a new item's enchantment. He wears half-moon spectacles with an extra tiny lens that flips down when appraising gems and hums a cheery, slightly off-key tune while working. Though respected by the town for decades, townsfolk sometimes awkwardly avoid his shop's doorway; Merrin never lets that bother him and greets each stranger with a tea sample and a story about some long-ago invention that 'went slightly sideways.'”
