What are Gems in D2R?

You can insert a gem into a Socketed Item, enchanting it with powerful magical effects. There are five different grades of gems:

  • Chipped
  • Flawed
  • Standard
  • Flawless
  • Perfect

The higher the grade of the gem is, the stronger effects it will provide. Once you insert a gem into an item you can’t remove it from the socket.

You can upgrade a gem either by touching a Gem Shrine or by using the Horadric Cube. If you place three gems of the same type into your Horadric Cube, you can create a gem of a higher grade.

Skulls

There are some demonic monster’s skulls that contain eldritch symbols. These skulls work the same way as the gems
