The Jeweler deals in precious jewelry; namely amulets, rings, and gems. The Jeweler will provide the player with special services involving gems. He is the second of the two encountered Artisans, and first offers his services during Act II, when sockets and gems first becomes available.

Combine Gems: Three gems of equal quality can be combined into one gem of a higher quality. There are 14 quality levels of gems in Diablo III, and only the lowest eight will be dropped from monsters. Therefore, it is up to the Jeweler to combine these gems to provide the player with the highest quality gems.
Remove Gems: Should the player wish to remove gems already socketed into items, the Jeweler can do this without either destroying the item or the gem, allowing the player to not only reuse gems, but to upgrade the gems socketed in their items as well.
During development it was advertised that the jeweler would also be able to add sockets to item. This feature has since been removed, and as of patch 1.01 does not exist in the game.
