Crafts are a group of items made specifically by a craftsdwarf. These include rings, amulets, bracelets, scepters, and crowns.
Crafts can be made from stone, wood, leather, cloth, bone, shells, and gems. However, gem crafts cannot be made normally, instead they are an uncommon product of cutting gems.

You cannot specify what a craftsdwarf will make, but one resource can often produce two or three different items. The chance of multiple crafts being produced from one resource is increased with the craftsdwarve's skill.

Stonecrafting is an easy but timeconsuming way to make export goods early, as your stone crafter will have access to tons of stone in a typical fortress. However this is the only way to attain a legendary stonecrafter. Basic stone crafts are worth very little, but many of these can be made and will not be denied by traders. Making mechanisms instead is more useful and they are worth more too.
