Not sure wether this will be of help to anyone( I know a guide is up already but this has more details in it) but here's a guide and list of materials needed to lvl JC to 450:

Approximate Materials Required for 1-450:

The materials are based on a case that you will gain one skill point each craft. This won't happen, so you will have to buy a few extra materials while you are leveling your Jewelcrafting.

IMPORTANT! DO NOT BUY ALL OF THE MATERIALS AT ONCE! Jewelcrafting is really expensive to level, and on most servers AH is screwed up because of the insanely high prices of low level Gems, Orbs and Bars. I usually have a few tips and alternatives so you can save some gold.

100 Copper Bar
20 Tigerseye or 20 Malachite
120 Bronze Bar = 60 Copper Bar, 60 Tin Bar
60 Shadowgem OR 20 Shadowgem and 20 Small Lustrous Pearl
80 Heavy Stone
30 Moss Agate
140 Mithril Bar
80 Solid Stone
25 Citrine
15 Truesilver Bar
5 Aquamarine
50 Thorium Bar
10 Star Ruby
20 Large Opal
10 Powerful Mojo or 10 Blue Sapphire
10 Essence of Earth or 10 Essence of Undeath
20 Huge Emerald
55 green gems OR 40 and 15 Black Diamond - Don't buy all of them from one kind, because there might be some recipes where you don't have the reputation to buy it, so you will have to choose other green gems. Just buy them when you get to that part of the Jewelcrafting guide.
40 Adamantite Powder (200 Adamantite Ore)
10 Primal Earth
10 Adamantite Bar
Buy around 70 from any of the following gems: Bloodstone, Chalcedony, Dark Jade, Huge Citrine, Shadow Crystal, Sun Crystal. Make sure to buy at least 5 Bloodstone, 1 Chalcedony, 1 Shadow Crystal and 1 Dark Jade, because you will need the Bloodstones when you reach 395 and the other gems when you reach 440.
46 Eternal Earth OR 23 Eternal Earth and 23 Eternal Shadow
7 Forest Emerald - You might only need 5.
around 28 Skyflare Diamond OR 28 Earthsiege Diamond, but you should buy less then 28 and buy more if you need them
1 Frozen Orb

Jewelcrafting Leveling Guide 1 - 450

First, visit a trainer - just ask a guard, and learn Apprentice Jewelcrafting. You can train your Jewelcrafting up to 450 in Dalaran.

1-30
30 x [Delicate Copper Wire] - 60 Copper Bar
Save these, you will need them later.

30-50
20 x [Tigerseye Band] - 20 Tigerseye, 20 Delicate Copper Wire

You can make 20 x [Malachite Pendant] too.


50 - 150


Learn Jewelcrafting Journeyman.

50-80
50 x [Bronze Setting] - 100 Bronze Bar

Save these, you will need them later.

80-100
20 x [Simple Pearl Ring] - 20 Small Lustrous Pearl, 20 Bronze Setting, 40 Copper Bar

or

20 x [Gloom Band] - 20 Bronze Setting, 40 Shadowgem, 40 Delicate Copper Wire

Make [Ring of Silver Might] if Silver Bar is cheap on your server.

100-110
10 x [Ring of Twilight Shadows] - 20 Shadowgem, 20 Bronze Bar
You can also continue to make [Ring of Silver Might]

110-120
10 x [Heavy Stone Statue] - 80 Heavy Stone
If Heavy Stone is cheap (usually it's not) make this one up to 130 if you want to.

120-150
30 x [Pendant of the Agate Shield] - 30 Moss Agate, 30 Bronze Settings

The design sold by these NPCs.

If you prospect your own Ores, usually you will get a lot of [Lesser Moonstone] too, but even if you don't prospect the Ores, sometimes 2 Lesser Moonstone is cheaper than one Moss Agate. So get the recipe [Design: Amulet of the Moon] and use up all your Lesser Moonstone. The design is sold by these NPCs.


150 - 200


Learn Jewelcrafting Expert.

150-180
45 x [Mithril Filigree] - 90 Mithril Bar
Save these, you will need 45 of them later.

180-185
8 x [Solid Stone Statue] - 80 Solid Stone
185-200
15 x [Engraved Truesilver Ring] - 15 Truesilver Bar, 30 Mithril Filigree


200 - 300


Learn Jewelcrafting Artisan.

200-220
If Citrine is expensive, you can continue to make [Engraved Truesilver Ring] up to around 210 or maybe more, you will also need a bit more Mithril Filigree then.
The recipe will go yellow at 210, so you might need to get more Citrine if you are unlucky. If you are lucky you will only need 20.

25 x [Citrine Ring of Rapid Healing] - 25 Citrine, 50 Mithril Bar

220-225
5 x [Aquamarine Pendant of the Warrior] - 5 Aquamarine, 15 Mithril Filigree
225-250
50 x [Thorium Setting] - 50 Thorium Bar
Stop making these at 250 and only make more if you need it.

250-260
10 x [Ruby Pendant of Fire] - 10 Star Ruby, 10 Thorium Setting
260-280
If Large Opal is expensive on your realm, like it cost twice as much as one Star Ruby, then you should continue to make [Ruby Pendant of Fire] up to 275. Or if you Prospected your own Ores, you will have a lot of Star Ruby and Azerothian Diamond left, use all of them.
20 x [Simple Opal Ring] - 20 Large Opal, 20 Thorium Setting

If you reach 265 and you have some Azerothian Diamond, or it's cheap (I doubt that) you can start to craft [Diamond Focus Ring] too.

280-290
10 x [Onslaught Ring] - 10 Powerful Mojo, 10 Essence of Earth, 10 Thorium Setting
or

10 x [Sapphire Pendant of Winter Night] - 10 Blue Sapphire, 10 Essence of Undeath, 10 Thorium Setting

290-300
Make a few [Glowing Thorium Band] if you have some Azerothian Diamonds left.
10 x [Emerald Lion Ring] - 20 Huge Emerald, 10 Thorium Setting


300 - 350


Go to Outland and learn Jewelcrafting Master.

Now from this part of this Jewelcrafting guide, you will use recipes that are already yellow to you and since whole WoW is pretty random, you might just need 5 gems to reach your desired skill or maybe 10.

300-320
A nice alternative to 300-315 is this pattern:

15 x [Prismatic Black Diamond] - 15 Black Diamond

When you learn these recipes, they are already yellow. I suggest you to cut 30 from any of the following gems, then you should reach 320.

[Teardrop Blood Garnet]
[Brilliant Golden Draenite]
[Solid Azure Moonstone]
[Radiant Deep Peridot]
[Inscribed Flame Spessarite]
[Glowing Shadow Draenite]

320-325
Make 5-7 from any of the following gems.

[Bold Blood Garnet]
[Bright Blood Garnet]
[Gleaming Golden Draenite]
[Jagged Deep Peridot]
[Luminous Flame Spessarite]
[Royal Shadow Draenite]
[Sparkling Azure Moonstone]

325-335
Save these, you will need them later.

10 x [Mercurial Adamantite] - 40 Adamantite Powder, 10 Primal Earth

Make a few from any of the following gems, if you didn't reach 335.

[Enduring Deep Peridot]
[Glinting Flame Spessarite]
[Runed Blood Garnet]
[Shifting Shadow Draenite]
[Thick Golden Draenite]
[Purified Jaggal Pearl] - This one turns green at 332.

335-340
Make 5-7 from any of the following gems.

[Dazzling Deep Peridot]
[Delicate Blood Garnet]
[Potent Flame Spessarite]
[Rigid Golden Draenite]
[Sovereign Shadow Draenite]
[Smooth Golden Draenite]

340 - 350
You can continue to make the gems above, if you didn't reach 350 by making the rings below.

10 x [Heavy Adamantite Ring] - 10 Adamantite Bar, 10 Mercurial Adamantite


350 - 450


Go to Northrend and learn Jewelcrafting Grand Master.

350 - 395
Buy around 55 from any of the following gems. After 375, the recipes will be yellow so you might need less or more.
[Bloodstone]
[Chalcedony]
[Dark Jade]
[Huge Citrine]
[Shadow Crystal]
[Sun Crystal]

Cut any random gem you want. Seriously there are like 50 new green gem recipes, I won't list all of them. Go to your trainer, learn one and make that recipe around 55 times.

395 - 400
Make 5 from any of the following items:

5 x [Bloodstone Band] - 5 Bloodstone, 10 Crystallized Earth
5 x [Crystal Chalcedony Amulet] - 5 Chalcedony, 10 Crystallized Earth
5 x [Crystal Citrine Necklace] - 5 Huge Citrine, 10 Crystallized Earth
5 x [Sun Rock Ring] - 5 Sun Crystal, 10 Crystallized Earth

400 - 420
23 x [Stoneguard Band] - 46 Eternal Earth
or

23 x [Shadowmight Ring] - 23 Eternal Earth, 23 Eternal Shadow

420 - 425
You better make this yellow recipe until it turns green, because after this, there will be only meta gems, and they are a lot more expensive. Forest Emerald is usually the cheapest gem.

7 x [Dazzling Forest Emerald] - 7 Forest Emerald

425 - 440
Buy 15 [Skyflare Diamond] or [Earthsiege Diamond]

There are plenty of meta gem recipes, choose one of them and make it 15 times. You can learn some recipes from your trainer, and some of them are sold by Tiffany Cartier in Dalaran, there is also a lot of them dropped by bosses and mobs around Northrend.

440 - 441
1 [Icy Prism] - 1 Frozen Orb, 1 Chalcedony, 1 Shadow Crystal, 1 Dark Jade
441 - 450
More meta gems. Usually 13-14 [Skyflare Diamond] or [Earthsiege Diamond] is enough.

Thanks phalanx13, I'll rumage through my Typed Docs folder for the other guides and post them as I find them, one question though can I post them in your topic when its locked, im a noob when it comes to using forums ??

[phalanx13]

Oh weird...

It got locked...

Hmm.. even I can't edit..

[Ikybod]

never mind ive posted the guides you were short on as seperate guides, maybe a forum moderator can add them to your guide or something

[Jeddy]

Seriously? you made this? http://www.wow-professions.com/wowguides/wow_jewelcrafting_leveling_guide.html seems similar and it has the rest on there....

[Ikybod]

Yes I did make this myself several years ago jeddy, as with all my guides. I spent ages on many characters collecting the imformation and making notes then I fully typed them out on notepad, so I would have permanent records of what I had done, it was also easier to call them up if a friend needed them, the amount of detail in them (that isnt really needed here) was because the guides were done whilst I was playing retail.
