📋 About This Mod
She had pretty shoulders, a shapely neck and, around it, a black velvet choker with a star-shaped jewel sparkling with diamonds.

I never liked the vanilla pendant - it was a bit too unremarkable in my opinion - so I decided to create my own version. Features new, custom mesh for Yennefer's iconic bejeweled star, as well as 3 ribbon styles to choose from.
──────────────── • ✤ • ────────────────
Style 1 - Vanilla
A choker with the star hanging from it. Expect some clipping with base of the neck (same as in vanilla).
Style 2 - Choker
Tighter choker with the star pinned to it. No dangly bits, the least clipping.
Style 3 - Necklace
Looser style, more of a necklace. Clipping may occur in extreme poses.
