Unofficial Fashionable Treasure Challenge

Welcome to the unofficial Fashionable Treasure challenge

"Where can I get such a thing?! I simply must own one! Gib!"
-Panther being amazed by stuff


This challenge is about fashionable treasures. Treasures can be many thing, especially fashionable ones. They can be animals which gives a higher status to a person owning one, or clothing that have been considered treasures, such as a king's rope, or the pope's hat. It can be accessories such as the amulet of a deity. It's up to you how you interpret this prompt.
Fashionable treasure can help you figure out more about what a society, a group, or even individuals values, how these treasures became fashionable, and how it affects relations - both trade-wise and environmental.

You must write an article on a template of your choice that primarily features your interpretation of treasure in your world, and submit it as a comment below. This challenge will be judged by Qurilion, Awsm Chimera, and PanthersEye. Reading/judging period will happen in August, due to Summer Camp intervention.

Closing time for this challenge: 1st July 2022.
