The mention of crafting gems in the first sentence is very interesting; might there be a way to obtain gems, other than by finding them? If they can be manufactured, even at great cost in [[materials]], that could make a huge difference in the time required to upgrade a gem all the long way to level 14.
===Gem Levels===
[[File:Gems-1-14-label.jpg|frame|The 14 levels of [[gems.]]
One service provided by the Jeweler is the upgrading of [[gems]]. Gems from levels 1-5 can be found in the game; to get to the higher levels 3 gems of one level must be combined to make the next.
This recipe is subject to change if the team finds it takes too long to make the higher level gems; at the 3:1 ratio it will take 19,683 Perfect (L5) gems to upgrade to 1 Radiant Star (L14) gem. If the ratio was lowered to 2:1, then it would only require 512 L5 gems to make a L14 gem. All runes required 3:1 ratios for upgrading in Diablo II, until that was lowered to 2:1 for the higher level runes. A similar modification might take place with Diablo III's gems.
