Ave's Ancient Jewelry

Today 10 years ago I uploaded my first mod, not sure when I started modding, but it was a couple of years earlier. It was a tiny mod and had some major issues which I wasn't able to fix back then, so it is set to 'hidden', but it is still shown in my personal mod list.

Been quite a journey, learned a thing or two, and meet plenty of outstanding people along the way, and sadly lost track of some of them. So I would like to thank every one of them here, you guys are awsome! Thanks!

I'm grateful that I found this wonderful hobby, and since the spirit of modding is sharing, enjoy this mod and celebrate my ten years of modding.

This mod adds a circlet (and belly piercing) in a similar style as my Saarthal Amulet; Gauldur Amulet, Enchanted Ring , and Ancient Earrings

• []Circlet (female and male model)

  []Belly Piercing (female model only)

  The Circlet comes in three different versions for female characters, so they are more suitable for different hairstyles:

  - regular version: similar to vanilla circlets

  - version: created to fit the Dragonstone hairstyle from KSHairdos

  - version: created to fit the FontanaDiTrevi hairstyle from KSHairdos

  How to get them in-game:

  can be crafted at the skyforge, as long as you have the Saarthal Amulet in your inventory.

  To obtain the optional Circlets just craft the regular version and then change it to your preferred version at the skyforge.

  • []Piercing use slot 49

  []all items are enchantable

  Optional ESPs:

  there are four different version to choose from in the fomod, each adding more or fewer items to the game:

  • []circlet only

    []circlet and piercing

    []circlet and earrings (requires data files from my Ancient Earrings mod)

    []circlet, earrings, and piercing (requires data files from my Ancient Earrings mod)

    • []copy all files in your data folder

    [](use Bodyslide to create the models)

  • activate only ONE of the esp files as usual

    Thanks to Bethesda for creating Skyrim.

    📊 Pros & Cons

    ✅ Pros

    • Community-approved with 359 endorsements and nearly 48k downloads.
    • Adds matching jewelry that fits with the author's other ancient-style mods, so you can complete a set.
    • Three circlet variants for different hairstyles means you can actually wear it without clipping through your hair.

    ⚠️ Cons

    • Requires the Saarthal Amulet to craft, so you need to have that mod installed and the item in your inventory.
    • Belly piercing is female-only, so male characters miss out on that piece.
    • Compatibility risk: the circlet variants are designed for specific KSHairdos hairstyles, so they may not fit other hair mods well.

    🎯 Is This For You?
    For Skyrim players who love the author's ancient jewelry set and want a matching circlet and piercing. Also for players using KSHairdos who want a circlet that fits those specific hairstyles.

    💡 Beginner Tips

    • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install the FOMOD and pick the optional ESP version you want.
    • Make sure you have the Saarthal Amulet mod installed and actually have the amulet in your inventory before heading to the Skyforge to craft the new items.
    • If you're using KSHairdos, pick the circlet version that matches your hairstyle to avoid clipping.
