📋 About This Mod
I redid all of the gems. All gems and pearls have been replaced. There is now 21 gem types with 6 cuts apiece including the rough. All of them have been made smaller and worth alot more. No more fist sized stones worth 20 gold here.
New Gems overhauls all gem and pearl items in Oblivion, replacing them with 21 gem types, each with 6 cuts including rough. Gems are smaller and worth significantly more gold, eliminating the unrealistic fist-sized stones worth 20 gold. A classic overhaul for players seeking a more valuable and varied gem economy.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 399 endorsements and nearly 9k downloads.
- Breathes new life into gem collecting—21 types with 6 cuts each means tons of variety.
- Fixes the immersion-breaking fist-sized gems worth pocket change; now they're actually valuable.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2008—might have compatibility issues with modern Oblivion setups or mods.
- Only affects gems and pearls; if you're looking for broader economy changes, this won't cover it.
For Oblivion players who want a more rewarding and visually varied gem system without overhauling the whole economy. Perfect for collectors and traders who enjoy looting valuable stones. Skip if you're fine with vanilla gems or want a comprehensive economy mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod replaces vanilla gems, make sure to load it after any mods that also alter gem meshes or textures.
- If you're using a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash, install via that to keep track of file conflicts.
- Back up your save before installing if you have existing gem items in your inventory, as they may change appearance or value.
