I thought they can only make perfect gems, now i've just had one make a bloodstone barrel 

can they make furniture too?

[RCIX]

Well, the only thing you can do in a jeweler's workshop really is encrust something with gems. So you got an artifact barrel i guess.

[Jimmy]

Yes, multiple item types are possible. Some are even useful (artifact gem furniture for example). However most of the time it's going to be a useless craft good that only increases fort value. It is possible to savescum for something you want if you're desperate enough.

[IronyOwl]

Glassmakers will sometimes grab rough gems rather than glass, resulting in gem furniture. I thought gem cutters and gem setters were restricted to carving handheld items, like instruments or toys. Are you sure it was a jeweler, and do you know whether gem cutting or gem setting was his higher skill?

[Jimmy]

I've had gem cages in 40d. Unless it was a bug, it's possible, just extremely rare. IIRC, likely gem setting, as that's the only one I'd bother training for mood purposes, but it's been awhile.

[TheyTarget]

I've had them make a bed out of bloodstone once.

my jewler made a resin opal floodgate :|

[The Tyrant]

I had one make a statue once, it saved my fort.

"So Urist. You've recently starved, gone without drink, forced to hunt for vermin, lost your two best friends to melencholy and got stabbed by a goblin. How do you feel?"

"Do you really need to ask? Have you seen this freaking statue?! It's awsome!" 

[Noble Digger]

Confirmed, I got an emerald barrel in my current fort and a pipe opal table in a past fort.

[Passive Fist]

I had an turquoise bed made once. And an emerald coffin.

[Creamcorn]

I had an turquoise bed made once. And an emerald coffin.

How much do those gems weigh again?

[Dorf3000]

I've got a clear glass artifact chain, which is decorated with a cloth image of a different artifact chain from the same fort. I still haven't figured out how they sewed a piece of cloth to a glass chain, or why they seem to have a fascination for chains.

Gem furniture seems to be from gem setter moods; I have a legendary gem cutter who made a 'perfect gem' and now has to be kept away from the Jewellers shop because he creates so many 'large X gems'.  They can't be used as decoration and I have plenty of junk to trade already, so large gems are a waste.
