Olmhazan's Jewels

Olmhazan's Jewels was a jewelry shop in the Castle Ward of Waterdeep.

Location
The shop was located on the west side of the High Road, across from the the entrance to Spendthrift Alley. The back of the building faced Cat Alley.

Structure
The shop's façade was made of silvered polished stone and was shaped like an enormous faceted gemstone. This aesthetic choice was commonly mocked by the Waterdhavian nobility.

Interior
The inside of the shop was lined with displays showing an enormous variety of nonmagical gemstones. The display stands were decorated with beljuril shards that made them continuously sparkle.

Services
Almost all varieries of gems could be found for sale at Olmhazan's Jewels, save for magical gems and extremely rare ones, such as amaratha, king's tears, and rogue stones. Prices were slightly higher than typical market values, usually adding between 15 and 25 gp to each stone's value.

Defenses
The shop was defended by two trained mimics that disguised themselves as a display stand and part of the front entrance and gem façade. It was uncommon for thieves to steal from the shop since one such attempt had resulted in the thief being partially devoured by one of the mimics.

Inhabitants
In the mid‒14 century DR, the shop was owned and operated by Jhauntar Olmhazan, who also held the position of Gentleman Speaker at Waterdeep's Jewelers' Guild. Jhauntar was dismissive of all country folk and regarded the inhabitants of the eastern shore of the Sea of Fallen Stars as barbarians.
