"This just came in from our London branch," he said, dipping behind the counter. Holding up a ginger to indicate for the woman to wait, Protego disappeared into the backroom.
When he emerged again a minute later, he had a long thin box in his hands. He set it down on the counter and opened it so that the contents were pointed toward the customer. If he did it with a bit more of a flourish than the object required, we'll, she didn't need to know that. "This amulet," he said, "is very special. First one we've made like it." Well, technically. His brother's shop had the only other one currently made, anyway. "This particular object is meant to bind itself to the needs of its owner. Whatever need is strongest." He chuckled. "Well. Strongest at the moment the activation word is said, anyway."
