Alamans Gemstone Production Level 3

Gem Setter

A sword inlaid with jewels may be gaudy to some, but demonstrates power well enough.

The beauty of precious and semi-precious stones, coupled with their relative rarity, is what gives them their value and desirability. The difficulty of obtaining them, and the resplendent image they presented, meant that gems quickly became signifiers of great wealth and, by extension, important people. In antiquity, the practise of what would come to be known as 'conspicuous consumption' was used throughout the world to denote key positions. Alamannic kings decorated themselves with jewellery and crowns encrusted with gemstones as ostentatious displays of their dominance. Tribal warriors and kings were often buried with their regalia, providing us with much knowledge of the skill of ancient craftsmen.
