Gem

Template:Bc

A jewel is an item that can be placed into a socket of an item to give that item additional bonuses, powers and/or procs. The term "gem" is often used interchangeably (and improperly) with "jewel".

Jewels are available from a number of sources, however most are cut from Gems via the Jewelcrafting Profession.

Vendor: Common-quality jewels can be purchased from  Markus Scylan in Honor Hold,  Reagan Mancuso in Thrallmar,  Inessera (Aldor) or  Lisrythe Bloodwatch (Scryer) in Shattrath City, and  Dealer Senzik in Stormspire. Uncommon-quality jewels can be purchased from  Dealer Senzik in very limited-supply. Some rare- and epic-quality jewels are available for purchase from PvP Quartermasters in Honor Hold, Thrallmar, the Champions' Hall and the Hall of Legends, or as drops; these jewels are typically unique.

Jewelcrafting: Jewelcrafters (skill levels 300-325) can craft most uncommon-quality jewels. Those with skill level 350+ can also craft many rare-quality jewels. Finally, jewelcrafters with skill level 365+ can craft meta jewels. For a list of the uncut (raw) gems that jewelcrafters can work with, please see this article.

There are 4 socket types: red, yellow, blue and meta. Any jewel can be placed into any socket, however a small socket bonus will be gained if the jewels match the sockets' colors. The only exception to this rule is the very powerful meta jewel, which can only be placed into a meta socket and you must complete the meta jewel requirements in order to activate it while you don't need it to be activated in order to socket it into an item. Additionaly no jewel except a meta jewel can be placed in a meta socket. So far, only high-end helms have meta sockets.

The jewel's color indicates what type(s) of bonus that jewel confers. Here is a brief summary of the stat bonus and the common single-color cut associated with each color:

Mixed-color jewels (green, orange and purple) confer the bonuses of both primary colors associated with that jewel. (For example, an orange jewel will have a mix of red and yellow bonuses).

Meta

Meta Jewels match <imagelink>UI-EmptySocket-Meta.png|Socket</imagelink> meta sockets. These jewels have special requirements that must be met for the jewel's bonus to activate. For example, in order to gain the benefits of a  [Destructive Skyfire Diamond] there must be a minimum of 5 Red gems between all the items currently equipped on the character. It should be noted that gems which match multiple socket colors can fulfill meta gem requirements for any color they match. For example, if a meta gem needs 3 red and 2 yellow to activate, 3 orange gems can activate this gem. Also, a gem does not have to match it's socket to contribute to a meta gem, therefore the player may choose to lose an item's gem bonus in order to activate the meta gem's bonus.

Notes

• Multi-colored gems will count towards both of their colors when socketed into an item, but will only count as one jewel, meaning you need the relevant amount of gems, but they can be Multi-colored. (relevant for Metagem bonuses.)
• You can replace a gem already socketed in an item with another one, destroying only the gem you are replacing.
• A gem does not have to match it's socket color to count towards a meta-gem's bonus.
