What do gems do in Steam?
They're pretty much Steam's version of crafting glitter. Turn your unused clutter into gems and then use those to craft booster packs or snag goodies in special auctions. A neat way to make use of all those game drops you don't care about.

Gems? Barely worth the hassle unless you're super into crafting or trading on Steam. You're better off selling your items on the market.
Gems on Steam are basically digital crafting materials you can use to create booster packs for trading cards or bid on items during Steam's Holiday Auctions. You can get gems by converting items in your inventory you don't need, like trading cards, backgrounds, or emoticons. It's like recycling your unwanted stuff for something you might actually want!
Used gems for the first time during a Steam sale auction. It's a cool way to get more out of your Steam inventory. Converted some of my old emoticons and backgrounds into gems and snagged a couple of booster packs. Definitely adds a fun twist to managing your collection.
