Line #5 Sandbox/EverythingsSparklyWithWicks


1	EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry claims to be about how jewelry makes things more beautiful. In practice, many examples seem to just be "character wears jewelry". There are also concerns that the stated usage is subjective, as beauty isn't something that can be stated objectively.

33	# Anime.HowlsMovingCastle: PimpedOutDress: Nothing too elaborate, despite the era, but Madame Suliman's dress shows off with the [[GoldMakesEverythingShiny gold trimmings]], '''[[EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry jewelry]]''', and a [[PrettyInMink fur-trimmed collar]].
34	# Characters.BaileySchoolKids: She wears a green broach on a choker around her neck, and it's largely implied to be what allows her to walk around in daylight. Notably, when Mrs. Zork touches the jewel and it becomes dull, Mrs. Jeepers begins to panic.

45	# Literature.TheGreatGatsby: DaydreamBeliever: Gatsby really believes that millionaires are {{Gentleman Adventurer}}s and his MultipleChoicePast are stories everyone thinks are ridiculous... at first. But given Gatsby is TheCharmer, he manages to make others believe, even for a little while, in his story. In chapter 4, he is confessing his past to the skeptical Nick:
46	-->''[[IdleRich "After that I lived like a young rajah]] [[SceneryPorn in all the capitals of Europe--Paris, Venice, Rome]] '''[[EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry --collecting jewels, chiefly rubies,]]''' [[GreatWhiteHunter hunting big game,]] [[GentlemanAndAScholar painting a little, things for myself only,]] [[DarkAndTroubledPast and trying to forget something very sad that had happened to me long ago."]]\
47	With an effort I managed to restrain my incredulous laughter. [[ClicheStorm The very phrases were worn so threadbare]] [[invoked]] that they evoked no image except that of a turbaned "character" leaking sawdust at every pore as he pursued a tiger through the Bois de Boulogne... My incredulity was submerged in fascination now; it was like skimming hastily through a dozen magazines.''
48	# PlayingWith.ErmineCapeEffect: Princess Chiffon ''always'' wears an ImpracticallyFancyOutfit with GiantPoofySleeves, a wait ribbon, frills, flounces, pleats, goring, lace, '''[[EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry jewelry]]''', and lots of ribbons laced into her curly pink hair, even when she's sleeping, playing sports, or fighting off invading armies.

52	[[folder:Real Person has Jewelry]]

54	# Music.EmpireOfTheSunBand: Luke, both in and out of costume, likes his bling.
55	# Music.PixieLott: TheFashionista: So much so she has even contributed designs to high-end UK fashion label Lipsy and '''[[EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry accessory chain]]''' Rock 'N Rose.

62	# ValentinesDayEpisode: '''[[EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry Jewelry]]''', [[SomethingAboutARose roses]], and [[ChocolateOfRomance chocolates]]. Valentine's Day (technically [[UsefulNotes/PatronSaints Saint Valentine]]'s Day) is a big deal, and boy do writers know it!
63	# Characters.TheFlashRoguesGallery: He keeps the flame contained in a blue gem.
64	# Fanfic.{{Cinderjuice}}: Dragon's blood opal, to be precise.
65	# Film.TheSucker: The Cadillac contains precious stones in the battery and the biggest diamond in the world, the Youkounkoun [[spoiler:in the car horn]].
66	# Franchise.{{Barbie}}: The dolls have plenty of jewelry, as well as some jewelry themed dolls.
67	# Recap.SkipBeatVolume25: Of all things to get spruced up with jewelry, it's a bouquet that takes the cake. The amount of flowers that Sho brought for Kyoko was huge, but the bouquet is also stuffed with swarovski crystals, freshwater pearls, and sprays of sparkling beads. One of Kyoko's coworkers notes that it looks like the decorations cost more than the flowers.
68	# VideoGame.DwarfFortress: GemEncrusted: Just about any physical object that does not rot can be encrusted with cut gems to increase its value. This ranges from [[BlingBlingBang ammunition]] and [[BlingOfWar armor]] to [[CoolChair furniture]] to [[ConspicuousConsumption decorations]] all the way to '''[[EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry mechanisms]]''' and [[IfIWereARichMan barrels.]] '''The example is about gems increasing value, but the pothole seems entirely random and irrelevant'''
69	# VideoGame.{{Hex}}: Instead of lands, gems called 'shards' are your resource. You can also socket many cards with 'gems' to give them extra abilities.

73	# ComicBook.TomorrowStories: Lapis Lazuli, back when she still called herself Laverne, designed a ray that turned things into sapphire. The ray accidentally hit her and turned her skin diamond hard and blue, and also gave her a form of immortality. '''Character turns things into / becomes sapphire'''
74	# Film.LoveGunsAndGlass: Subverted, when Brother Siu proposes to Yeuk using a wedding ring made of ''glass'' (hence the title). Yeuk agrees anyway despite knowing the ring is pretty much worthless, because she truly loves him no matter what. '''Character uses cheap jewelry'''
75	# UsefulNotes.{{Emojis}}: The [[https://emojipedia.org/mozilla/firefox-os-2.5/ring/ Ring emoji on Mozilla Firefox OS 2.5]] has sparkles. '''Literally sparkly jewelry'''
76	# VideoGame.TraumaCenter: SlidingScaleOfShinyVersusGritty: The surgery graphics started off somewhere in the middle and slid toward shiny in future installments. This culminates with ''Trauma Team'', in which tumors are represented by '''[[EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry red gems]]'''. The character designs, on the other hand, got a bit more gritty in ''New Blood''. '''Gemstones used to represent tumors'''
77	# WesternAnimation.DisneyFairies: Exaggerated at the end of ''The Pirate Fairy'' by Tinker Bell, Iridessa, and Silvermist, diffracting moonlight through a diamond solitaire and bouncing it off mirrors and a splash from a water droplet, casting hundreds of points of light across a stadium full of fairies. '''Seems to take the trope name literally'''
