I'll describe the process I used both pre-wipe and post-wipe to craft my jewels:

You can start finding jewels from random drops at level 20 and above. There is 3 types of jewels: crimson (strength based), viridian (dexterity based), cobalt (intelligence based). There is no ilvl requirement or different tiers of mods for the jewels, a level 20 jewel can potentially be as good as a itemlevel 80 jewel, this is important.

While you level, you should collect every blue and rare Cobalt jewel you find, those are the ones we need, the chance to roll 1% shield block and 7% maximum HP are the same for every type of jewel, however, Cobalt jewels have a way higher chance of rolling Spellcasting related mods such as Spell damage, Fire damage, Cast speed, etc.

Once you are high enough level, and can farm alterations comfortably, you should use your alterations in the cobalt jewels you have been accumulating, trying to roll either 2% chance to block with shield (NOT SPELL BLOCK, we don't need spell block) or 8% increased maximum life, they are both prefixes, meaning that a blue jewel will either have 2% block or 8% life but not both. After you have a jewel with one of this prefixes (the suffix doesnt really matter), we regal them and hope we get either Life or a damage mod.

And thats pretty much it, once you are at that point, is a rinse and repeat process, progressively crafting better jewels.

Don't ever Exalt a jewel, doesnt matter how good you think it is, I don't think its ever justified to use an Exalted orb on a jewel unless you're ultra rich and/or bored.

If you regal a 1% shield block jewel and you get 7% life, you already have 2 prefixes, which is the maximum, exalting for a suffix is a very bad idea, as suffix are generally "trash" stats like +15 intelligence or resists.
