To get the most value out of the gems you find, it is recommended to use up the cheapest gems first (agates, chalcedonies, jaspers etc.) to train your gem setter and leave the more valuable ones (tourmalines, zircons, opals etc.) until he or she reaches a high skill level. The most valuable gems (emeralds, rubies, diamonds, sapphires) should only belong in the hands of a legendary gem setter. | To get the most value out of the gems you find, it is recommended to use up the cheapest gems first (agates, chalcedonies, jaspers etc.) to train your gem setter and leave the more valuable ones (tourmalines, zircons, opals etc.) until he or she reaches a high skill level.

Thus, letting your gem setter encrust everything he gets his hands on with cut green glass is a great way to train him without wasting any of the limited natural-occurring gems. |
