Version 0.27: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Jewellery is a category of equipment that consists of rings and amulets. They are always magical, and beneficial in some way.

Most species can equip one amulet and two rings, although octopodes are able to wear eight rings at a time. Wearers of the unrandart macabre finger necklace can wear an extra ring. Worshippers of Ru who have sacrificed a hand have one less ring slot than normal. Some bad forms restrict your jewellery options. Rings and amulets are equipped with the P key and removed with the R key. You cannot change your jewellery while berserk.

Strategy

One important quality of jewellery is that rings can be changed very quickly. It only requires 1 turn to remove a ring and equip another (specifically, 0.5 turns for each individual action). However, take note that amulets take as long to remove and equip as armor. They both require 10 turns (or 5 turns for each individual action), making them far less versatile.

That being said, it is wise to keep extra pieces of jewellery in your inventory for situational encounters, such as a ring of resist corrosion for a monster with acidic attacks, or a ring that offers an elemental resistance versus a specific monster.

Some amulets also have properties that should make you think twice before swapping:

History

Prior to 0.27 You could find amulets of inaccuracy, rings of teleportation, and rings of attention which were always cursed. Prior to 0.26 Amulets could be removed as quickly as rings. Prior to 0.25 Rings could be decrease stats as well, and were cursed if this was the case.
