Crafting - Jewellery

Many crafters enjoy making fine jewellery. Such items can then have spells cast upon them, which in turn can help with a further skill, making Crafting a valuable skill to have.


The most basic piece of jewellery to craft is the clay ring, but it can still prove useful for those just starting out. To make one, simply use some soft clay with a ring mould, then fire it in a pottery oven. Clay rings can also be blessed (Father Aereck in Lumbridge will be more than happy to do this for you). Once blessed, it will become a ring of devotion, which increases your defences slightly.

Gold bars (obtained by smelting) are used to make the more traditional forms of jewellery, such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and amulets.

When it comes to actually making items from gold, all you need to do is take a gold bar to a furnace (which you can find by looking for this symbol on your minimap) while you have a mould of the type of item you want to make stored in your inventory. Use the gold bar on the furnace and a menu will appear containing images of the items you can make: select the one you want and work will begin.

Silver can be used to craft a selection of items. While the options are significantly less than what is possible with gold, silver items can be made and strung to help a character with Prayer.

When it comes to actually making items from silver, all you need to do is take a silver bar to a furnace (which you can find by looking for the furnace symbol on your minimap) while you have a mould of the type of item you want to make stored in your inventory, use the silver bar on the furnace and a menu will appear containing images of the items you can make: select the one you want and work will begin.

For making a symbol, you will need to acquire either a holy symbol mould (available from all good Crafting stores), or an unholy symbol mould (gained from the Spirit of Scorpius upon completion of Observatory Quest), a silver bar and a ball of wool.

When you have these three items in your inventory (mould, bar and wool) simply use the silver bar on a furnace and choose the holy symbols option, choose which symbol you wish to make (if you have both moulds on you) and an unstrung symbol appear in your inventory in place of the silver.

For adding string to unstrung symbols or amulets, you will receive 4 Crafting experience. To make strung amulets or symbols, simply use a ball of wool with the unstrung item. Balls of wool can be obtained from shearing sheep and spinning the wool.

Apart from wool, it should be noted that to string an amulet of nature, you will not use wool/string, but magic string. To make this string, you must first obtain magic roots (from digging up a magic tree through use of the Farming skill) and then spin the roots in the same method used for string.


There comes a stage where your Crafting level will enable you to cut and use gems on your normal items. This will not only increase the value of the item, but the item's potential. Magic can be used upon such items and they can become items of power, used for a variety of skills and even transportation methods.

To cut a gem, simply use a chisel on it. Be aware, however, that there is a chance that the gem will shatter when you do so, but this risk dimishes with a higher Crafting level. You may also store large varieties of gem in a gem bag, bought from the rewards trader of Daemonheim.


On Karamja there lies a hidden mine and only those who have completed the Shilo Village quest are able to journey there.

The process of making gem-encrusted jewellery is relatively simple, but it can be difficult to get exactly right, and so it takes the steady hand of a master craftsman.

Take a gold bar, a mould of the appropriate type, and a cut gem of the appropriate type to a furnace, use the gold bar on the furnace and select the type of jewellery you want to make.
