The Amulet of Articulation is a unique light amulet found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Acquisition
The Amulet of Articulation is rewarded after completing the Thieves Guild quest "Under New Management."
Enchantment
Wearing this amulet grants the following skill bonuses:
- Fortify Persuasion: Allows persuasion attempts to almost always succeed at any level of Speech.
- Fortify Speech: 5-35 points
Variants
There are seven different versions of the Amulet of Articulation that the Dragonborn can receive (and an eighth version that is NPC-specific), each with a different strength enchantment. The intent was probably for the version received to be level-dependent, but instead it is random. All seven versions are equally likely at all levels.

Trivia
- The Persuasion boost is useful at lower Speech levels, however checks almost always succeed with a Speech skill of 100, making its usefulness questionable at higher levels of the skill. This also renders the Persuasion perk obsolete.
- As the amulet's stats are random, it's possible to obtain the best possible version by saving prior to it being given. If it is not the best version, then load the save and try again.
- The amulet registers as light armor, benefiting from all associated perks in that skill tree and increasing the skill as any armor would. It will not, however, prevent Mage Armor or Matching Set from functioning.
