ESO Jewelry Crafting Guide
Jewelry Crafting in The Elder Scrolls Online was introduced with the Summset Isle chapter/expansion. This profession allows player to create rings and necklaces that provide powerful abilities.
Becoming a Jewelry Crafter
In order to become a jewelcrafter, you need to purchase Chapter 2, Summerset Isle, however you can still use jewelry created by other players, as well as gather the materials used by jewelry crafters, without purchasing the new chapter.
If you own Summerset Isle, then becoming a jewelry crafter is as simple as visiting a jewelry crafting station. These stations are located throughout Tamriel near all the other crafting stations.
Materials
Materials are gathered throughout the world from nodes called "seams". Seams provide raw Dust, which can be refined into Ounces. As you spend skill points in the Jewelry Crafting skill line, the type of dust that you can gather and refine improves. Here is a table with types of dust and the character level required to refine it.
| Raw materials (dust): | Character level: |
|---|
| Pewter |
Level 1 to 25 |
| Copper |
Level 26 to 50 |
| Silver |
Champion level 10 to 60 |
| Electrum |
Champion level 70 to 140 |
| Platinum |
Champion level 150 to 160 |
Skill Line
As with all crafting professions in ESO, you need to spend skill points in the jewelry crafting skill line in order to create higher end items. Here is a quick run-down of each of the passive abilities in the skill line.
- Engraver (5) – Increases the level range of items you can craft.
- Keen Eye: Jewelry (3) – Highlights resource nodes with a glow so they are easier to see in the world.
- Jewelry Extraction (3) – Increases your chance to receive materials when deconstructing existing jewelry.
- Lapidary Research (3) – Reduces the time required to research jewelry traits.
- Platings Expertise (3) – Reduces the number of Bars required to upgrade jewelry.
Research
Unlike other professions, in jewelry crafting, you can only ever research one trait at a time, so expect to have a long wait IRL when you start getting close to having all traits researched. Speaking of traits....
Traits
Summerset Isle brings with it six new traits that can be found/researched on jewelry. Previously there were just three: Healthy, Arcane, and Robust. Now we also get the following: Protective, Triune, Infused, Swift, Harmony, and Bloodthirsty. Here is a table that describes each trait, the material to create jewelry with that trait, and where to find jewelry with that trait on it:
| Trait: | Effect: | Material: | Trait source: |

To find materials for a specific trait, you need to either deconstruct jewelry with the specific trait on it, or find it from specific sources noted in the table above. If you deconstruct jewelry for the trait material, it will come out in "pulverized" form. You will need 10 pulverized materials to refine into a useable material.
Upgrading Jewelry
Prior to Summerset Isle, the only way to get legendary quality jewelry was to complete Trials. Now, with Jewelry Crafting it is possible to upgrade all existing or new jewelry to legendary quality. Here's how to do it:
To upgrade an item, you need to get an upgrade material called "Bars". Bars are obtained by refining the raw Dust you gather into something Grains, and then you refine the Grains into Bars. These Bars have different quality levels that will determine the quality of the upgrade you can perform. Here are the types of Bars and the quality that each can be used to upgrade to (denoted by color).
- Terne
- Iridium
- Zircon
- Chromium
As with all other crafting professions, you have a chance to get upgrade materials when you deconstruct items, and the chances of getting Legendary quality materials is a lot more rare than getting lower quality materials.
Jewelry Crafting Writs
As you'd expect, you can get daily crafting writs for Jewelry Crafting, just like any other crafting profession. First, you must become a certified jewelry crafter. To do that, just talk to the High Elf, Felarian, to begin your Jewelry Crafting Certification quest. He can only be found just outside the crafting section of the city of Alinor, in Summerset.
This is what Felarian looks like:
