Obsidian Star for Yennefer

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

A black velvet ribbon wound around her neck, an obsidian star set with diamonds hanging from it.

“That star…” muttered Ciri. “What’s it made of? Those stones move and shine so strangely…”“They pulsate,” smiled the magician. “They are active diamonds, sunken in obsidian...

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).

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.
