As far as I can see the only way to turn a profit in jewelcraft is by
selling to other players. This means your going to have to make things that
the other players would like. Things like Enchanted jewelry. Since I can't
make any of the cool things yet, I havent made much money, except for once.
I made a Silver Rose Engagement ring. It costs about 15 gold to make and I
sold it to another player for 2 platinums. I have also been asked by other
players if I could make them a ring that Increases strength. I had to tell
them "no not yet." :( Since in order to make something that increases
strenght I think you need a metal that is Electrum or better and combine it
with Onyx. Not that skilled yet!

Something has been nagging me of late. Not that it would change anything in
my desire to master jewelry, but has any of you yet reached a skill level
where you gained more money than you put in in the first place by using
this craft?.
