[[Image:Sorceress.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Sorceress]] wearing jewellery.]]Precious gems and metals make excellent foci for magical enchantments in addition to staves and is quite popular among any magic user, regardless of school of magic. The process of preparing these jewels into actually magical items is a long lost secret in the [[Western Kingdoms]], but is still used in some of the [[mage clans]]. A lot of items created in times long past can still be found, and as many [[monster]]s have an affinity for finding people with them, defeating the minions of [[Burning Hells|Hell]] can be a good way to get this treasure. Another good reason why they are so popular is that since they are so small and located on places such as hands and neck, they are unlikely to be damaged in combat.
Magical jewellery pieces have some sort of "maginetic" fields, and will easily be interrupted by other pieces. It's probable that this is because of their small size and relative high density magic in their physical shell. The effect is similar to that of a magnet, but not really. Holding two of these magical rings on the same hand, for instance, will completely cancel out both. Using more than one necklace at the same time will do the same. It might be a combination of the essence of the item, combined with how magic flows in the human body (even in the magically untrained), but there is no known studies made on the topic. However, the result of this is that only three pieces of enchanted fewlery may be worn at any one time: one ring on each hand, and one amulet around the neck.
