With this talent, the character can find work as a jeweler. He or she has the skill to appraise gemstones, repair jewelry, detect frauds, and, if the character has artistic ability, craft necklaces, rings, brooches, and the like. While Artistic Ability is required to use this skill to produce attractive jewelry worthy of sale, it is not needed to produce “boring” enchanted jewelry. Note that Blacksmithing is required if the jeweler intends to create the metal components for jewelry, but not to cut, set, or appraise the gemstones themselves. If the character also has Chemistry, the gemologist can also attempt to fashion artificial jewelry. A less-than-honest craftsman may even attempt to pass off false jewelry as the genuine article.
Critical Success: The gem-smith creates a wondrous piece of jewelry with triple the normal value.
Critical Failure: Not only did the piece not work out, the jewels were damaged in the process.
