Jewels
  The Lord of Destruction Expansion
introduces a variety of new item types into the world of
Diablo II. Aside from new weapons and armor, there will also
be many new trinkets for players to use. One of these item
types are Jewels, which is not to be confused with Jewelry
(rings and amulets). Jewels are of the many new item types
that add new possibilities to what players can do.
  Jewels are small items that work much like Gems. You can
insert them into socketed items, which will grant new
abilities to that particular item. Each Jewel will have its
own set of abilities, which will be given in the hover
description. Unlike Gems, the effects granted by Jewels will
not vary depending on the item type you socket it into (helm,
shield, weapon). The effects granted will be the same when
socketed into any type of item. Also, just like Gems, you
can't remove a Jewel from an item once it has been inserted
into the socket.
 
In general, Jewels grant fairly weak bonuses, which are
similar to lower level rings and amulets in Diablo II.
Examples of this could be boosts to strength, life, or mana,
and each Jewel can have up to four abilities. There are also
rare Jewels, just like there are rare Rings and Amulets in the
game. Rare Jewels have several modifiers and will grant
stronger bonuses once socketed. Jewels are also needed in many
of the new Horadric Cube Recipes, which can yield impressive
new items.
