The Chrysellate Atelier is a stage, a sanctum, a whispering hive of vanity, obession, and avant-garde biology. But for all intents and purposes, it is in fact a jeweler. The Chrysellate Atelier specializes in the "vivomorph adornment," which are exclusive wearable pieces made from carefully nurtured insect symbiotes enchanted with a tinge of magic. Heartbracelets that tighten with emotion, living brooches that flick their antennae when lied to, and necklaces that molt into new colors with each passing moonphase are just the tip of the iceberg for what is found within. The nobles, guild leaders or heirs, and the wealthy compete to commission pieces that prove not just wealth, but superiority. All pieces are custom-grown, and anything unique is specially commissioned for collection within the greatclub tunnels. Buyers are required to bond with their purchases before they leave the store, sometimes by blood, breath, or even by dream depending on the magic the flows within the piece.

Nestled in a crescent alcove off the Gilded Spine promenade of the Sprigs, the Chrysellate Atelier shimmers like a cocoon about to burst. Its exterior walls are paneled with mirrored carapace scales, each harvested from bioluminescent tunnel beetles and enchanted to ripple with shifting hues—lavender, gold, teal—depending on the hour. A suspended sign shaped like a curled centipede unfurls subtly every morning to reveal the day's featured collection. Beneath a crystal-glass awning that drips with dew-fed moss, velvet-gloved attendants usher guests through triple-winged archways, while glittering silken scarves flutter overhead like butterfly wings caught in a breeze. At night, soft insect chimes hum from window grates, harmonizing with the heartbeat of the Sprigs itself.
