There are currently 5 gem upgrade tiers in Diablo 4: Crude, Chipped, Regular, Flawless, and Royal gems. Players will need to level up and use increasingly valuable materials to craft and use each tier of gem.
Gems can be upgraded to higher tiers by way of gem crafting at the Jeweler. Players will need to bring the required gems along with a specified amount of gold to complete this transaction.
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.
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.
