Jewelry Crafting Trait Research Guide

Researching traits in Jewelry Crafting in The Elder Scrolls Online is important, than only once you have researched a trait you can craft a ring or a necklace with that specific trait. In addition, if you plan to craft specific sets, they usually require a certain amount of researched traits for it to be craftable.

Example:

Hunding's Rage Set - Requires 6 researched traits before you can even attempt to craft it.
