The Jewel House Collection

I had posted this earlier at PBK for the Guild Wares contest. Lama had hoped I'd upload it here too for those that aren't members at PlumbBob Keep. The actual lot will be posted in a new topic following this post.
As I quoted at PBK:
I've created 19 full jewel sets featuring a tiara, necklace, earrings, bracelet and ring from various jewel sites but predominently influenced by East Indian jewel designs. In my readings I had come across an article mentioning that the rulers of India were hugely influenced by the designs created in Europe during the Medieval/Renaissance periods, incorporating these features into their magnificent jewels. Hence the use of sets from India for some of the pieces depicted. But, not only were the medieval jewellers skilled in necklaces and earrings, they created other objects to display the wealth of the nobility. The House of Jewels features small jewel caskets, drinking goblets in gold with precious gems, gilded and engraved platters and jewellery displays of tiaras, necklaces, pendants and earrings. All created to embellish the homes of your royals and nobility.

The Royal Collection of Jewels
Utilizing Lianna's jewel set meshes, a variety of necklaces and earrings with matching bracelets and rings. The matching tiaras use a mesh created by Windkeeper.

Jewellery Displays--Trays and Tiara on a Pillow 
Found under Miscellaneous>>Miscellaneous
This is a mesh that Sunni was fabulous in editing for me. I had wanted a way to display the tiara, so she had taken the windkeeper tiara mesh and edited it onto the tiara pillow mesh. Thus, I could have a display for each tiara in the Royal Collection. The mesh edit by Sunni is included in the download file. (The original mesh came from SimsConnection's Bridal shop .... the original mesh is SC-bridalshoptiara.package. IF you have this set, please delete that one file from your CC.)

Found under Decorative>>Miscellaneous
The original is a mesh by Steffor for the Berber Shop at Avalon. I edited the mesh, deleting all the references to the glass texture found in the original. (Sunni double-checked that I had done this correctly in SimPE.) If you have this set, please let mine overwrite (or delete) the file called "steffor-berbershop-schmuck" from your folders as the name is the same as the original. The mesh is included in the download file.

The meshes required are from Eva's PBK Tavern Participation Prize download .... recolours made of the clay plate, tin goblet 1 and the clay goblet (which recolours the clay bowl, clay tankard and tin goblet 2). I haven't included the meshes so you will need to grab them at the PlumbBob Keep. (You'll want the set btw ... it's amazing!!).

And .... as a bonus .... a gift Michelle made me from a request I made of her. You may have noticed them on the tables scattered around the shop!?! A tabletop/vanity mirror!!! With full animation options even. After seeing the miniatures she had done, I got to thinking ..... wouldn't it be cool to have the large mirror stands reduced to fit on a table.

Second Floor -- walls and floors decorated only

Third Floor -- walls and floors decorated only
The third level begins what I dubbed "the dummy level". The third floor has a higher wall size you will notice in the next pictures. This is the level that begins the gabled effect to the exterior design, which is another 5 partial levels(floors).

You notice the boxed Tudor effect on the upper part of the wall? That's the "dummy level", making the ceiling space for the third level a quarter wall higher. If you wish to add walls to this level, you will need to use the cheats to enable this to work, or just use the custom unlevelled walls by Numenor to add to the top of whatever layout you implement.

The lot is available with "full CC" meaning the contents in the jewel shop area .... or an empty lot with just the garden, wall and floor textures, and the doors and windows.
If you download the "full CC" lot, you will only need to grab the jewels for your nobility as all the remaining items in the previous post are included in that lot's download link.

Note: You will need this OMSP controller by Julsfels to hide the various OMSPs used to position all the clutter in the shop. I was too lazy to do each one individually. :) Find it here.
List of CC -- Thanks to all those creators whose work made this lot possible. And a HUGE Thanks to Bethgael and Sophie-David for their suggestions/instructions on preparing the lot to package.
