Jewelry store (no ontology)
From Mazeworld
This page is undergoing a major overhaul in preparation of an imminent update. Consider this page to be a WIP until this notice disappears.
A jewelry store is a business in MazeWorld specialized in buying, selling and customizing Valuables. It is notable for being the only shop in the Mazes that can identify gems (Archaeologists and scientists are also capable of identifying them, but are not bound to a shop). It is also notable for offering an unique, value-enhancing jewel customization service, and for being guaranteed to be found at the entrance of every Mine.
Rules of a jewelry store

- May appraise and buy back all types of valuables.
- May ID gems.

Custom jewels
Outside of being the only shop in the Mazes which specializes in valuables, the jewelry store offers an unique service: jewel customization.
Customizing jewels is a good way to transform heavy gems and ingots into light-weight valuables, with the added benefit of guaranteed value, as no custom jewel can be made out of materials that haven't been appraised.
