How to Upgrade Jewelry to Netherite Tier

Why Netherite Jewelry

Netherite versions of jewelry are the strongest tier in the mod. You'll find recipes for Netherite Citrine Ring, Netherite Jade Necklace, Netherite Ruby Ring, Netherite Sapphire Necklace, Netherite Tanzanite Ring, and Netherite Topaz Necklace, among others. These combine a netherite ingot (or scrap-derived material) with the matching gem inside the Jeweler's Kit, replacing the lower-tier metal.

Step-by-Step

1. Gather netherite through the usual ancient debris smelting process.

2. Collect the specific gem matching the piece you want (Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite, Topaz, Jade, or Citrine).

3. Open the Jeweler's Kit and place the netherite and gem into the appropriate slots.

4. Take the resulting netherite jewelry and equip it.

What Changes

Netherite jewelry keeps the gem's magical effect but at a higher tier — typically stronger or longer-lasting bonuses than the iron, gold, or diamond equivalents. Because netherite is expensive, decide which effect matters most to your playstyle before spending it. If you're unsure, craft the cheaper gem version first, wear it, and only upgrade the pieces you actually use. Don't waste netherite on a ring whose effect you never trigger.
