Jewels and precious gems have always been one of the most sought
after types of wealth. Not only are they valuable because of their looks,
finding high quality gems is very rare, because working them into their
finished shape is a very difficult art to learn. Knowing how to work and
cut gems takes a lifetime to learn. More times then not, ore is flawed
during workmanship, drastically reducing the value of the finished item. A
master gem cutter can take even flawed ore and stone, and turn them into
master pieces. Exceptional use of this skill requires both a steady hand
and a keen eye for details.
