		Reliquaries differ greatly in size and appearance, but many, particularly those of medieval Europe, are very elaborate and adorned with precious metals and jewels.
		One popular style was the reliquary fashioned in a shape related to the relic it held, such as a bust-like reliquary for a skull or an arm-shaped one for arm bones.
		However, reliquaries are still made, particularly in Catholic and Eastern Orthodox countries, and many from the medieval period are still on display in churches and museums.

		Cherith Baldry's The Reliquary Ring is set in an alternate-world Venice (the city is never named, but all the Venetian landmarks are there) where an 18th-century-style social setting combines with the products of high technology.
		Then a fabulous object is discovered: a reliquary ring containing a single hair of the divine Christos.
		The city's decline stems from the same source: in their treatment of genics, its people have betrayed their own humanity, and what is human in them suffers as a result.
