Jeweler

The Jeweler is one of the three Artisans introduced in Diablo III. Like the Blacksmith and the Mystic, the Jeweler is located in the Caravan area, and handles various NPC merchant chores, including item sales and crafting requests.

All of the Artisans will be heavily involved in quests and the game's plot, even after the player completes the initial quests to get them to join up with his adventuring efforts.

Jeweler Functions

The jeweler seems to handle most item upgrading and crafting that involves small items other than runestones. Two brief sentences about him in the Caravan FAQ is nearly all that's been revealed, thus far.

The jeweler crafts gems, amulets, and rings. The jeweler can also remove gems from socketed items and can combine gems to improve their quality.

Nothing has been revealed about the recipes he has for crafting rings and amulets, but those will surely be of great interest to players, as valuable as quality jewelry has always been in the Diablo games.

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.

The Jeweler's Story

Very little is yet known of the Jeweler's character. Not even the character's name.

Jay Wilson spoke only briefly about the jeweler when introducing the Artisans at Gamescom, in August 2010. [1]

The Jeweler is a bit of a greedy sort, and the player character encounters him during his search for a particularly rare gem. The player has to kill a nasty demon to help the Jeweler get the jewel, and by this the Jeweler sees that tagging along could be fairly profitable.
