→Item Sockets
Not much is yet known about what can be put into sockets; [[gem]]s of various types have been seen in the gameplay movies and in the [[BlizzCon 2008]] demos, but their bonus properties are unknown. No {{iw|jewels jewels}} have been seen, and [[runes]] in Diablo III are for socketing into [[skill]]s, not items. There may be (and probably are) other things to put into item sockets, but no info has been released about them.
The [[Caravan]] [[Blacksmith]], is an [[Artisan]] that can add sockets to [[shields]], [[helms]], [[bracers]], [[belts]] and [[pants]], but not [[weapons]], [[rings]], [[amulets]] or [[Shoulders|pauldrons]]. However, these latter items may be accessible through the blacksmith's later upgrades. The upgrade is hugely expensive compared to crafting a new item, and can be done multiple times. It does not increase their sell value but does seem to alter the appearance of the item.
