"Right. Okay. I will pick a ring." And they can head on in to do that.

"Welcome!" chirps a middle-aged lady behind the till, looking up from an account-book. "How can I help you?"

"That might be her appointment with, uh," says a teenage girl. "Uh, do we bow to foreign royalty -"

"Foreign royalty? That's exciting and I have no idea," says the older one.

The younger girl bows just to be safe. The older one ducks into the back room calling for Ismat.

Technically not royalty for two more weeks!

She waits for Ismat.

Ismat emerges, accompanied by obligatory security! "Hello there! Ismat Alnahhat at your service. I hear you're in the market for a wedding ring, possibly magical, fit for a queen-to-be."

"So I'm told. Probably not magical unless you can do it slotless so it doesn't interfere with wearing a couple of other magical ones."

"Hm, I don't think I can do it slotless and also in fact shaped like a ring. Not yet anyway. D'you already have your magical ones -" She checks over her hands. "Because if you're full up on things you want to stuff into your ring slots I can do combinations."

She has a ring of sustenance now, "and apparently I'm waiting on a very fancy ring that delays death effects so I can teleport to somewhere from where my corpse is more easily retrieved."

"Exciting. Non-magical ring is plenty doable if that's what you have space for. Have a look at some of these, tell me what you like -"

She does not have a lot of jewelry opinions. Goes, eventually, for something symmetrical and geometric because that's Iomedae's banner, and flashy because probably it's supposed to be.

"All right, spiky and symmetrical and big sparkly rocks, you're easy to please - how's the budget on this -"

She looks at Leareth.

If they're definitely going for a non-magical ring now that she already has two magical ones lined up, then his very tentative reasonable-budget estimate with Parmida is probably too high. "Up to five thousand gold, I think, but if we are going for non-magical and pretty, I am not sure at what price point one hits diminishing returns on prettiness." 

"Probably before five thousand! I don't know, though, I don't own a lot of jewelry?"

"I own zero jewelry that is not magical, and the magical ones are expensive for different reasons, so I am not very calibrated here either. I would guess Ismat knows more on this than either of us." 

"If you like big rocks it takes a while to hit diminishing returns on prettiness. Price of diamonds has been cratering, though, so I can load it up with lots of those for that much, sprinkle it with littler rubies."

"I bet Van could do a big rock that's not a diamond but I can't think of any other big rock I'd particularly prefer so that's fine. - can you do one Raise Dead grade so if I ever get that far with Iomedae I can use my wedding ring to raise the dead in an emergency, that seems like a good thing to be able to do."

"Sure thing! Though if you have a source on arbitrary artificial rocks, there's a fancy kind of diamond, extra fiery, so rare I haven't gotten my hands on any yet but I saw some at a convention in Absalom last year, doesn't have the advantage of being usable for spells in a pinch but the big centerpiece could be a normal diamond either way."

"If you know what raw elements make it up, I am sure Vanyel could have a go. - If you think a mental image of it very clearly I can pick it up with Thoughtsensing and maybe I will recognize it from Velgarth and be able to tell Vanyel." 

"I will think it at you, it was terribly striking." They displayed it under strong light right next to a diamond.

Leareth breathes out a slight 'ooh' of awe, tries to share the visual memory along to Carissa although it'll come less clearly through two steps of Mindspeech transfer with un-Gifted people. "I think I recognize it and can look up what our world's alchemists know about it, and see if Vanyel would like a diversion from making the same kind of diamond every day." 

"- I should have said right away, we need the ring in two weeks, that's much more important than how it looks."

"I will get underway on the design and put my lapidary to work on the big diamond and the rubies and expect to hear back about little extra-fieries in a couple days. I can go ahead with diamonds elsewise. I take half up front -" She has a standard contract blank written up.

Leareth reads through it, mostly checking if there's anything unusual relative to other contracts he's seen here that Aroden signed off on, he hasn't had time to thoroughly familiarize himself with Golarion's contract law situation.

How much is half up front, in this case? 

She estimates it at just shy of 5k with the discount she offered, if she has to use little diamonds; if he provides gems then he can pay less of the second half. She scribbles in these details in neat angular writing.

Seems reasonable to him. :Carissa, does it also seem reasonable to you?:
