Random Jewelry Generator
Follow the tables below to generate a random piece of jewelry complete with a random material, gemstone, style, and type! Pair this with the Gemstone Generator on my other post for even more random results.

Jewelry Material
Pieces of jewelry can be made with a variety of materials. I tried to make it more common to get gold or silver since most sought-after jewelry would be made from those materials. Pewter contains a lot of tin so those were lumped together, and platinum, rhodium, and palladium are all members of the platinum group, chemically, so I lumped those together as well.Â
Gemstones
Here is a link to my random gemstone generator. It was a little too lengthy for this one blog post so I made it a separate one since it can have a different use. You can also roll randomly on the Gems tables in the Dungeon Master’s Guide (page 134). For the purposes of this jewelry generator, though, you should determine the quantity of gems on the piece. I kept the terminology vague since the jewelry can come in many sizes.
Roll 1d4:
No Gems.
One Gem.
Several Gems.
Many Gems.

Appearance and Style
While I could go on about different art movements and list every object in the world that could be turned into jewelry, I tried to keep my terminology open enough here to allow artistic interpretation for your setting. Any specific motifs I added due to their overwhelming occurrence throughout history, like “flowers” and “ribbons.” A roll of 20 will bring you to the Figurines table further down in the generator.
