Jeweler

Precious stones known as gems are already of worth when found in the very earth that gave birth to them. However, they only reach their true worth once being treated by the capable hands of the experienced jeweler.

The jeweler is specialised in working with gems, in order to cut and polish them to the brilliant beauty that the general public sees their final works as. The jeweler therefore always has demand for raw gems in oder to stay in business and are all too eager to buy them from miners or adventurers who've found them on slain foes. Crafty as they are, jewelers also work with jewelry item like rings and necklaces, which also incorporate gold into their works.

As jewelers generally have the rich and famous as their customers, only big and wealthy cities have one or two of their shops and prices in general are very high.
