About this sound

✦ AI

The iconic Diablo 2 gem pickup chime from Blizzard's classic action RPG. Creators use it for loot drops, level-ups and funny achievement moments.

This is the short, bright chime that plays in Diablo II whenever your hero picks up a gem from the ground. Lasting under two seconds, it is a crisp crystalline tinkle with a magical shimmer, like glass bells catching light in a dungeon. The sound is pure reward: it tells the player something valuable just entered the inventory. For anyone who ground through the classic Blizzard action RPG, it triggers instant nostalgia and a little rush of satisfaction, the audible version of a loot drop finally going your way.

Diablo II launched in 2000 from Blizzard North and became one of the most influential action RPGs ever made. Gems — chipped, flawed, normal, flawless and perfect — socketed into gear for stat bonuses, and each pickup triggered this chime. The sound spread through two decades of let's plays, speedruns, streams and nostalgia compilations, and it still pops up in modern ARPG and loot-themed content. Its staying power comes from Diablo II's lasting player base and the chime's instant association with getting something good.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Drop the chime exactly on the frame a prize, text pop or item appears so the brain links the visual to a reward. Keep it at full volume against a quieter bed, and don't stack it with other game SFX or the nostalgia gets muddy.

  • Marking a loot drop or unboxing reveal in gaming videos.
  • Punching up a level-up or achievement montage moment.
