They are just pretty in their variety. A keen eye will also notice that they are all, in fact, the same icon inverted and recolored six times.

Jewels are often the best thing to socket in an item. Their best benefits are [[resistanc]]es, Increased [[Attack Speed]], and [[damage]], both [[physical]] and [[elemental]]. The bonuses you get to [[mana]] and [[hit points]] and many other things are nice also, but are less than you can get from gems or common [[Runes]]. | Jewels are often the best thing to socket in an item.

The real benefit of jewels is that they can give their bonus from items that gems and runes don't. For example, it's easy to add 19% resist all with a perfect diamond, but that's only in a [[shield]]. You can get up to 15% resist all in a [[helm]] or [[armor]] or [[weapon]] from a jewel. | The real benefit of jewels is that they can give their bonus from items that gems and runes don't.

An important strategic note for those using attack-upgrading jewels: if you use two weapons at once (Barbarian/Assassin) it is much better to use an attack-upgrading jewel in socketed armor or helms. This will bestow the bonus upon both attacks, rather than just the one weapon in which the jewel has been inserted. | ||

You only have one socket in most of your best equipment ([[Rare]], [[Set]], [[Unique]], [[Crafted]]) so you want to add something really top notch. A Rare jewel with 4 mediocre mods is not better than a magical jewel with 1 or 2 really good modifiers. You can re-roll Rare jewels with the 6 perfect skull recipe in the [[Horadric Cube]], but this has an [[Ilvl]] 40 max affix limit, which makes getting good mods even more difficulty. | ||
