Gemology

Gemology is a skill introduced in The Sims 4: Crystal Creations Stuff. Leveling up the skill allows Sims to craft different sets of custom jewelry to wear, show off to other Sims, and craft custom engagement rings, as well as, cut crystals into gemstones at the Gemology Table. Gemology allows the use of all 27 crystals and 25 metals available.

==Crystal Creations==
 When a Sim uses the Gemology table, players can choose Designs, select Metals, and Crystals to craft a custom jewelry item to be used by Sims. Sims can use these custom jewelry such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings to share with other Sims. Sims are also able to cut crystals into gemstones as a fancy gift.
Gathering crystals is not necessary to start creating. However, crafting a piece of jewelry or cutting a gemstone is partially free of charge if the materials are owned. Otherwise, Sims will be automatically charged. The only exception to this are rare Crystals which need to be found in nature or ordered online. Nonetheless, Sims will still be charged for the design.
===Jewelry===
There are currently 12 matching sets of each jewelry type; necklaces, earrings, rings, and bracelets.

===Gemstone Cuts ===
Using the gemology table, Sims can cut crystals into gemstones. The effects are identical between jewelry and gemstone cuts; while jewelry applies effects to the sim currently wearing the pieces, cuts apply the same effects to all sims in an area around them. Uniquely, the Seed-Shaped Gemstone is quite literally a seed; it can be planted into the ground (or a planter), and after a while, it will grow into a crystalline tree that sprouts gemstones to be collected.
There are 11 cuts to be made:
Image	Gemstone 	Description 	Level	Price
 	Spire-Shaped Gemstone 	Your own mini crystal tower that an exarch would be proud of. 	1 	§45
 	Cabochon-Shaped Gemstone	A smooth, round shape that celebrates the natural brilliance of a crystal. 	1 	§50
 	Emerald-Cut Gemstone 	What came first, the crystal or the gemstone cut? 	2 	§70

===Crystal Energy===
Players can buy the Mystical Moonlight Crystal Grid in in the Outdoor Activities section build mode. When the crystal grid is placed outside and has up to 7 gemstones or jewelry pieces, during the hours of 7pm to 7am the gemstones and jewelry pieces will be charged with moonlight energy bestowing with active magical effects depending on the crystal they were crafted with.https://simsvip.com/2024/02/23/crystal-creations-the-sims-shares-in-game-effects-of-crystals/
The moon's phases dictate how long the charging will take from new moons taking the full 12 hours to charge items to full moons taking only 3 hours to charge all items. Once charged, the energy stays active for 2 days, with jewelry effects only active when being worn and gemstones only active when Sims are nearby them.

**The Spire-Shaped Gemstone references the Crystal Tower and the Crystal Exarch, a location and a character respectively in the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV.
** The Starry Sailor jewellery and the Star-Shaped Gemstone both seem to reference the popular 90s Manga series, Sailor Moon.

**The Bling jewellery line is a reference to the real life 'Bling Ring' gang who operated in Hollywood in the late 2000s and stole over $3 million worth of items from various celebrities including Paris Hilton. 
**The Delicate jewellery line makes a reference to songs by global singer-songwriter Taylor Swift.
**The Skull-Shaped Gemstone cut description, Memento sparkli, is a reference to the Latin expression Memento mori, which means "remember that you [have to] die", and the word "sparkly"
