Gems | Diablo 4 Wiki

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.

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.

Equipment	Sockets
Cap	1
Tunic	2
Pants	2
Amulet	1
Ring	1

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 a small amount of Gold to craft 1 Gem of the next tier. The Gems provide various bonuses when socketed into different gear slots, and upgrading them can enhance those bonuses. Upgrading a Gem to a higher tier requires an investment of 3 Gems of the previous tier and Gold, but it also increases the effectiveness of the Gem when socketed into a piece of gear.

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.

Jewelry Rarity	Rank	Cost
Rare Ring/Amulet	1	Iron Chunk x5 + 4,800 Gold
Rare Ring/Amulet	2	Iron Chunk x5 + Silver Ore x4 + 11,250 Gold
