As the eth bug and poison charm has been explained, I'll tell you the problem with rare jewels is even the better ones are still not as good as magic, as magic have greater pre/sufixes.
The best rare jewels i have ever found have been a 30 ed jewel, with 30 light res (i think, long time since i soc that into a weap), with a couple of vit points. The second was a 14 ed 9 mf jewel with a few other minor stats. As you can see, compare this to jewels such as a 40/15 (yes, they can drop, but are rare, you are more likely to get a lower ed. I have found a 16 ed 15 ias), or a jewel with ed and min/max damage.

What is this life if, full of care
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
