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.

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.

As of Season 6 (Season of Hatred Rising), the most 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.
