At this point I would just craft pieces of other gear/jewels you can find via recipes and craft them. Plenty of gems you can find will give you level ups at this point. Or if you go gold smithing plenty of rings that people need will give you level ups. Do not go for the Pendant of Arcane Radiance. Its a waste of money and resources to do this!
