How to get gems in Diablo 4

There are two methods to get gems in Diablo 4:

  1. The first one is just to explore the world as they can be obtained as a reward for killing enemies or found in chests.
  2. The other method is to craft them. Even though the crafting system is something new in Diablo 4, it is pretty straightforward. You can upgrade gems to the next tier at the Jeweller by spending some gold and using three gems of the previous tier.
