Master Jewelcrafting from 1 to 600 in Mists of Pandaria Classic — Efficient Skill-Ups and Essential Materials

Jewelcrafting Leveling Guide 1-600 (MoP Classic)
General Notes
Jewelcrafting is expensive, especially without Mining.
Skill-ups may vary due to green recipes (lower chance of skill-up).
Materials needed are approximate; some crafting repetition might be required.
Between 525–585, use whichever uncommon gem is easiest to get.
Darkmoon Faire quest gives +5 skill, no materials needed.
