Gems in Diablo 4 are precious Gem embody innate magical abilities. There are a variety of Gem types that can be discovered or crafted in the game, and each of them offers different benefits when socketed into different Gear-slots. In general, Gems will provide offensive stats to Weapons, defensive stats to Armor, and resistances to Jewelry. By choosing the right Gem for the right Gear-slot, players can significantly enhance the stats of their equipment, making them more formidable in combat.
NOTE Patch 1.4.0: The Blacksmith has been updated to align with the new gear crafting system, and The Occultist has been adjusted in response to itemization changes. Additionally, The Occultist now has a capped Gold cost for re-rolling items. The Alchemist and The Jeweler have also received functionality and product updates.
Diablo 4 Jeweler Gems & Socketing
The Jeweler is a valuable NPCs in the world of Diablo 4, as they specialize in Crafting and socketing powerful Gems that can enhance your gear. Whether you need more Damage, Resistances, Life, or Damage Reduction, the Jeweler has everything you need to boost your character's stats. You can easily change your mind later on. The Jeweler can unsocket your Gems from your gear without damaging them, so you can use them for different gear combinations. In addition to upgrading Armor and Weapons at The Blacksmith, you can also enhance the bonus Resistances and extra Stats of your Rings and Amulet with the Jeweler's help.
How to unlock the Jeweler in Diablo 4
Upon reaching level 20, a Priority Quest objective will be given to you, requiring a visit to The Jeweler in Kyovashad. You will be assigned a task to upgrade a Crude Ruby into a Chipped Ruby, which involves crafting it with Gold and three Crude Rubies.
But what's the use of a Gem without a Socket? Sockets are an additional bonus stat that can be found on items that allows you to insert Gems to gain their stats. Your Helm, Chest, Pants, Rings, Amulet, and Weapons all have a different number of Sockets. If you're lucky, you may come across a Scattered Prism as a reward from defeating a World Boss or Treasure Goblin, which can be used to add Sockets to your gear.
Diablo 4 Adding Sockets to Items
One of the benefits of working with The Jeweler in Diablo 4 is the ability to add sockets to your gear. If you happen to find an amazing item that doesn't have a socket, don't worry! For the price of a Scattered Prism, the Jeweler can add sockets to it. Scattered Prisms are not commonly found, but you may get lucky and obtain one after defeating a World Boss. It's worth noting that not all gear-slots can have sockets added to them. Refer to the list below to see which slots can have sockets added, and how many sockets they can have.

Crafting Gems in Diablo 4
By bringing Gems you find on your adventures to The Jeweler, you can craft more powerful versions of them. The process requires 3 Gems of the same tier and Gold to craft 1 Gem of the next tier. The Gems provide various bonuses when socketed into different gear slots, and upgrading them will enhance those bonuses. Upgrading a Gem to a higher tier requires the appropriate level to perform. The levels listed are character levels, and are applicable on a per character basis. If one character is level 70, they can craft upgrade all gems to highest tier, but a level 10 of the same account cannot craft upgrade any gems.
Gem Quality | Required Level to Craft and Equip*1 | Requirement to Unlock*1 |
Chipped | TBA | 10 |
Normal*3 | TBA | 15 |
Flawless | TBA | 20 |
Royal | TBA | 25 |
Grand | TBA | 30 |
*1 This refers to character level, not Paragon level.
*2 Crude gems cannot be crafted at this time, and are merely found.
*3 'Normal' is not the actual label, but is a placeholder as the game does not specify a quality label in addition to the type. If there is a label in game code, it is not known by this editor.
Unsocketing Gems
At times, you may feel the need to upgrade the Gems on your gear or replace them with new ones to gain different stats. Thankfully, The Jeweler provides a service where you can unsocket the Gems from your Gear by paying a nominal amount of Gold. This process removes the Gem, making it available for later use, and opens up the socket to allow for a new Gem to be placed in it. Please note that as the Item Power of your gear increases, the cost of unsocketing Gems will also increase.
Diablo 4 Upgrade Jewelry
Jewelry in your inventory can be enhanced to provide increased Resistances and stronger random stats. You can enhance Rare and Legendary/Unique Jewelry, but it's not recommended to enhance Common or Magic gear. Enhancing Rare items can be done up to 3 times, while Legendary items can be enhanced up to 4 times. However, special materials are required to enhance Legendary items. The cost in Gold and materials increases with each enhancement. Therefore, it's advisable to wait until you have rare or Legendary/Unique Jewelry before investing your resources in enhancements.

Seems completing the pit once also unlocks the royal gems, you just can't equip the item with those gems, if you're not level 90 yet.
