The Empire of Reimia (3)

"It depends on the purpose," Latro said, glancing at the display cases. "If it's something for yourself or as a gift for a brother or father, a pendant is perfect. Look, there are pendants with skulls for kids, and all sorts of other designs. You can get a chain for the neck; if the style fits, you walk around with the top two buttons of your shirt undone, and this thing hangs there, and everyone thinks you're from Orion, and they look away. You can get cufflinks if it's for some office worker, or a tie clip." He gestured towards the other part of the shop. "But if it's for a woman... Earrings are too personal; you need to understand and be sure about how she looks and what she wears to make sure it fits. A ring... well, you know, it's not the best choice unless you have some plans... It's better and safer to get a necklace or bracelet as a gift – both in terms of meaning and practicality. They won't be too expensive either, if you choose a simple one, without any fancy embellishments or unnecessary stones. Extra stones and patterns, by the way, put these pieces of jewelry in the same category as earrings, meaning they limit the choice based on the wearer's style." He sighed, closed his eyes, lowered his head, and covered his nose with his fingers. "And before you start teasing me, let me tell you right away – I know all this not because I have a girl inside, but because I have a billion sisters of various ages at home, and they have all sorts of things. You can't help but learn a thing or two," Latro sighed heavily again.
