Jewel Crafting
For those that ponder, "Is it cheaper to buy average or better shards or to make my own?" or, "If I make my own, how many shabby shards are needed?" the answers can be found here.
Note: The "Total Cost" values are the cost to manufacture from shabbys.
Example: 1 rough would need 3 shabby. 1 shabby is 530 coins so 3 x 530 = 1590 coins.
Also there is no fee to craft the gems. Just go to any Jewelcraftsman after you have the right amount of shards and use the Combine option. You need no skill level either.

Use this to compare your prices. If you see a beautiful shard going for 300k, then you know you can make one cheaper.
Now compare the cost of the shabby to the cost of the shard the person is selling.
Example: An average garnet shard in the shop is 60k some player will sell it for 49~60k and the cost for 108 shabby garnets from the shop is 57,240 coins.
Don't let the number of shabby fool you, it's best to compare the prices.
