How to Upgrade Gems

Visit the Jeweler for Gem Crafting

Crafted by the Jeweler
Currently, the only way to obtain any of the gems is by crafting them at the Jeweler using Gem Fragments. The material cost and level requirement for crafting vary depending on the gem you wish to create.

Jeweler NPC Guide

How to Get Gem Fragments

How to Get Gem Fragments
Gem Fragments can be obtained by defeating Elites, opening Chests in the overworld or dungeons, or by opening the Reward Caches from completing Whispers of the Dead.

One of the efficient way to farm Gem Fragments is by participating in Infernal Hordes and spending your Burning Aether on Spoils of Material chests at the end of the dungeon.

Grand Gems Require 30 Forgotten Souls to Craft

Diablo 4 - Forgotten Souls

Season 6 introduces Grand Gems, which are gems above the Royal tier. In addition to gold and gem fragments, you will need 30 Forgotten Souls in order to craft this gem tier.

How to Socket Gems

Drag Gems from the Inventory

Players can sockets gems at any time by simply dragging the specified gem to a weapon or armor piece they want to socket it to, provided there are empty gem sockets available.

Unsocket Gems at the Jeweler

Diablo 4 - How to Unsocket Gems

Should players wish to unsocket gems from their gear, they may do so by visiting any Jeweler then navigating to the Unsocket tab of the merchant's menu. From there, click the Unsocket icon and select the weapon or armor pieces you want to unsocket gems from.

However, do note that while socketing gems is free of charge, unsocketing them from your items will cost you Gold.
