Today’s idea: had some rough Burmese rubies I got at auction. Was trying to figure out how to use them when I don’t have lapidiary skills. Thought about using them raw in metal clay but then had this idea.

Maybe for someone with a ruby gemstone who wants to get it cut later? Or just likes rough.

realizing i should probably write shit down but i keep laughing while typing this with the thought "au where sasabe invents fidget spinners and becomes a millionaire"
(sorry for horrible crops i had to split for alt text)
Sasabe Sabe In this AU Sasabe’s mother, Kokora Kora, never left Ul’dah for her business ventures. Instead she stayed and married the love of her life, Adorabe Sorabe. The two were happy but constantly struggled to keep her jewelry business afloat in an overabundant market of jewelers, which only became more difficult after bearing a child. While she didn’t face complete poverty, she did grow up in a very chaotic and crowded environment of a shared space with extended family, and parents who were often too preoccupied to entertain her. When she came of age her mother did begin to train her with the grindstone, while she also studied thaumaturgy under her uncle’s tutelage. However, neither grabbed her attention as much as the poppets her cousins played with, nor the large grandfather clock that occupied the stairwell, or even the old orchestrion perched upon a shelf in their living room. She always found herself staring at objects such as those, silently wondering what secrets lie in their hidden mechanisms, but she never found the time to take them apart. During the Calamity her family faced absolute disaster as their home and business both were destroyed, her mother perishing in the fires. Not one to be deterred, she decided to take fate into her own hands, and open her own lapidiary with what remained of their funds. However, she would put her own spin with her unique talents in goldsmithing, the occult, and love of machina. Combined with her insistence on maintaining affordability, popularity of her colorful creations skyrocketed among a recovering population. Eventually her success caught the eye of one Teledji Adeledji, who would approach her with the business proposal of a lifetime: offer her hand in marriage, and his seemingly boundless wealth was all hers. Nearly three years later after the betrothal, their relationship could easily be described as “purely professional”, though the truth of that statement is knowable only between themselves as it is buried beneath a veneer of societal niceties. Sasabe quietly enjoys the comfort of security behind the city’s stone walls, yet sometimes she can’t help but wonder what lies beyond them.
