Ognite Jewelry

The Kunsvar jewelers were the first to discover that Ognite—a rare and volatile material—could be used to create jewelry with an unusual and dangerous allure. By trapping pockets of air within the ognite and coating it in a combustible material, the jewelers were able to create pieces with fires burning beneath the surface. This "inner fire" inevitably leads to the eventual destruction of the jewelry, and in some cases, can even set the wearer ablaze. However, the captivating beauty of these pieces, as the small flames gradually merge into a central inferno, is unparalleled. The fires within the jewels continuously shift and evolve, creating an ever-changing spectacle, with some pieces crafted to burn slower, creating a more mesmerizing visual effect, and others designed to ignite explosively at their peak.

Ognite Jewelry quickly became a trend among the nobility of Peletos, who were drawn to the striking aesthetic and the daring nature of wearing something that could ignite at any moment. The closer the jewel was to burning out, the more prestigious it became, and wearing pieces with larger, more intense flames became a mark of high status, signaling the wearer's boldness and fearlessness. Skilled jewelers who could predict how long a piece would last became highly sought after, and their creations highly prized.

As the trend grew, so did the number of incidents where wearers suffered burns, losing ears, wrists, or even their lives in extreme cases. Despite the risks, ognite jewelry remains a fashionable luxury item, coveted for its beauty, danger, and the status it conveys. It has become a product that the wealthy are willing to purchase again and again, as they constantly seek to replace the pieces that have been destroyed by the very flames that make them so desirable.
