World of Warcraft

Jewelcrafters can create beautiful jewelry and trinkets from metals and rare gems. They can extract gems from various raw ore mined from deposits and mineral veins. The prospect ability that allows you to do so is trained when you have at least 20 skill. Those gems can be used in two ways:

To make trinkets (gemmed figurines) and other items which provide their wearer with passive benefits or even short buffs to help in different situations.

They can be cut in pieces for use in item socketing. If you are interested in learing more about this or want to try the Socketing Items demo, head to the official site right away and check it out. Socketed Items* At higher levels, socketed items and specially cut gems become highly important. Various socketed items, including armor and weapons, can be found in dungeons, but the expansion also introduces many new recipes for all the professions. These recipes allow leatherworkers, blacksmiths and tailors to create socketed items. Socketed items can be of uncommon, rare or even epic quality. Each of an item's sockets can also have a specific color. You can put a gem into a socket and match that gem's color to the socket's color. If you use such color-matched gems in all of an item's sockets, the item acquires a special stat bonus beyond the individual gems' effects. However, you can also put gems of a different color in these sockets if you prefer a specific gem effect instead of the color-matching bonus. Any character can insert gems into an item's sockets: you do not need to be a jewelcrafter to do so. However, you will need to ask a jewelcrafter, or become one yourself, to obtain most of the gems you can socket. Several of the expansion's high-level bosses may also be a source of cut gems. There are rumors that these bosses hold stones with fantastic, untold powers. *The Socketed Items info was taken from the Game Manual.
