Analysis, Discussion and Tips for Success

General Discussion

Amulets are the highest level type of gold jewelry you can make from any gem in the Crafting skill. Sapphire ones can be enchanted to make amulets of magic, which provide magical attack bonuses.

Before an amulet can be worn (or sold, in some cases), it must be strung by adding a ball of wool to the plain amulet. With gem-based jewelry, stringing is best done as the amulets themselves are crafted; this is described as a separate method.

Location and Access

Members should complete at least the easy portion of the Varrock Achievement Diary, then use the furnace right next to the bank in Edgeville. Another option is to use the clay forge in Neitiznot. In my tests, the two are very close, but Edgeville is slightly faster, and certainly more convenient; Neitiznot is a better choice for those who value peace and quiet since it is usually nearly deserted.

Non-members should craft at Al-Kharid.

Required and Recommended Equipment

An amulet mould is required, which you can get at a crafting shop (there's one in Al-Kharid), or from a Tool Store 4 in a Workshop in a player owned house.

Required and Recommended Supplies

One gold bar and one sapphire per amulet.

Familiar Suggestions

Summon a foraging familiar to earn extra money for you while you work -- I prefer the magpie, given the high value of amulets and gems today. There isn't a really worthwhile forager below Summoning level 47, so I wouldn't bother with a familiar at lower levels.

Technique and Tips

With an amulet mould in your inventory, withdraw 13 gold bars and 13 sapphires, then click in the furnace room on your minimap. While running, click a gold bar in your inventory, then click the furnace. When the Crafting interface appears, right-click the sapphire amulet and choose "Make All". Then return to the bank, store the amulets, and repeat.

For the greatest efficiency, if you are crafting in Edgeville, right-click the bank and hover over the "Use-quickly" menu item, clicking it when all of your bars are consumed; widening the RuneScape window may make this easier.

Note that free players will need to stop periodically to rest and restore run energy; this is taken into account in my calculations.
