Shaking a little with the amusement of a rumour of what escapades had been being done with his previous works, Jimmy decided to really try his best at making something that would not harm the owner. "What's something people always find handy? Healing. And better eyesight? that sounds about right." He rummaged around in the basket that held the small odds and ends, and pulled out a few silver wires, and a tiny gem-stone that his "dad" had given him from some of the sales.
Quickly getting the forge nice and hot - though obviously since it was a smaller piece he used a smaller anvil and tools - he got to work. Beating the entire thing flat and then beating it into a rounded line, then using the smaller tongs to hold it as he then tapped it into a nice small circle. Use of tweezers also allowed some extra accuracy of crafting the right shape and correcting some imperfections of geometry.
Jimmy whispered about healing and sight and focused on mentally exorcising the slowly forming ring of any negativity; just the good and what he was wanting of it. He cooled and heated and tapped away at it, adding a little detail and a flowery imagery to enhance the positivity of what he was trying to craft. He felt as though he was making some sort of headway, though felt, too, that the potency might be a bit weaker due to the specificity.

The small gemstone was handled very carefully. It was a little expensive, and Jimmy had an intuition about him that made him more confident in his potential success. The garnet really drew the eye, and since it was red, it reminded him of those health potions that were commonly sold by the Alchemist. Thus, he was even more certain that his immediate choice of making some health related enchantment was the correct choice.
After another half hour of his ritual and crafting, he finally shrugged and put the softly pink glowing Ring of Healing and Emotion Sight down to cool a little. He then quickly wiped himself down and put the ring on. "Mmm, that feels nice, my arms were getting a bit sore. Huh, I can see some nice emotions in the house. I guess I will actually keep this one. I can do more work with this on."
Thus, Jimmy gained his first magical item purely for himself. He had earned it, and it was his very first pure success. It would help him out with knowing if people were mad at him and might help with finding a girl or something, but that wasn't on his mind at the moment. He immediately, upon downing two cups of water, got back to it.
