How to build Gemology skill
There are multiple ways for your Sim to build the Gemology skill.

Here, you can check how many skills your Sim has and what level they are in each.In Build Mode, buy The All-In-One Gemology Table by Humphrey Inc. Using the Gemology Table, your Sims can Cut Gemstone, Design Jewelry, and Design Random Jewelry. To begin crafting, your Sim will need to have crystals and metals in their Personal Inventory. These can be bought directly from the crafting menu when using the table, or your Sim can find them by digging up rocks in different neighborhoods. The worlds of Willow Creek and Oasis Springs are a great place to start! As your Sim increases their skill level, more Jewelry designs and Gemstone cuts become available.
