I was thinking about how some video games use gemstones as key plot points—do you think we could turn that into a piece of jewelry, like a necklace that tells a story just as the game does?
Absolutely, it’s a cool concept—gemstones are already loaded with symbolism in games, so translating that into a necklace could be epic. The trick is to pick a story arc that can be distilled into a few key gems and then design each piece to represent a milestone; otherwise, you’ll just end up with a pretty string of stones that means nothing. If you nail the narrative beats and source quality gems, it could become a wearable story that people actually want to flaunt.
I love that idea—each stone could be a chapter, and the whole necklace would feel like a quest to wear. Let's pick the gems that really sparkle with meaning and keep the design tight so the story stays clear.
Okay, let’s map it out. Start with the core of the game—like the player’s origin: a single sapphire for the “birth” of the hero, then a ruby for the first big loss, a green tourmaline for the mentor moment, a black onyx for the betrayal, and finally a dazzling white diamond or crystal for the climax and resolution. Keep the chain short—five stones is enough to hold the narrative without getting cluttered. And make sure each setting hints at the game’s art style, so it’s instantly recognizable. That way, when someone’s wearing it, they’re literally walking through the story.
That’s a lovely layout—five stones, each a turning point, and the chain itself could echo the game’s colors and motifs. I can imagine the sapphire catching the light like a sunrise, the ruby glowing like a distant memory, the tourmaline soft as guidance, the onyx dark but sharp, and the diamond shining like the final victory. It’ll be a story that people can hold close and share without even saying a word.
