If you don't want to go through the hassle of finding every item you need to craft the gem, you can always spend your Golden Nopon coin to do it instead by holding the Y button. However, as the level of the gem increases, so does the cost.

Avoid using gold nopon coins for anything below level 10 for crafting gems to make the most out of your gold nopon coins.
