How To Upgrade Gems in D2

You can use two methods when upgrading gems in Diablo 2. The first is using recipes with the Horadric Cube. You can also search for Gem Shrine and upgrade the specific Gems you value most.

Gem Upgrade Horadric Cube Recipe

3 Chipped = 1 Flawed
3 Flawed = 1 Normal
3 Normal = 1 Flawless
3 Flawless = 1 Perfect

Gem Shrine

While exploring you will come across Gem Shrines, this shrine will randomly select a gem from the players inventory and upgrade it to the next quality level.
(You can temporarily drop all gems from your inventory except the one gem you want to upgrade when you click the shrine.)
