    If you want to get the Top tier Gem, the first thing to do is:
    Find the caravan of orcs (white arrows on the minimap) sometimes killing them drop silver coins or gems.
    Find Monuments and destroy them (monuments only drops gems)
    Second thing to do is:
    combine 3 gems of the same type in your inventary
    Phase 1: x3 Normal Gems = 1 Carved Gem
    Phase 2: x3 Carved Gems = 1 Polished Gem
    Phase 3: x3 Polished Gems = 1 Refined Gem
    Phase 4: x 3 Refined Gems = 1 Perfect Gem
    Phase Final: Unlock your achievement

    In my opinion the easiest way to get the achievement is while playing "The Blade of Galadriel" DLC.
    When you play the expansion you can drop only one type of gems from the enemies (Gems of light - it's a new gems existing only in this DLC). You do NOT even need to farm or grind them because they can be looted from Captains, Warchiefs and Overlords while playing the storyline, I was able to craft the top tier gem after completing the mission "Poisoned Ground" its like in the middle of the DLC's storyline.
    I bet you can get it even faster if you do "Fallen Blades" side-missions because you also kill the captains there

    If someone does not know how to upgrade the gems, you need to go into inventory, next choose any gem's slot and hold cn_X on the gems which you want to upgrade.

    I hope it helps, good luck guys :)
