Apprentice 1-50:
1-30
30 x [Delicate Copper Wire] - 60 Copper Bar

20 x [Simple Pearl Ring] - 20 Small Lustrous Pearl, 20 Bronze Setting, 40 Copper Bar
or

Make [Ring of Silver Might] if Silver Bar is cheap on your server.
100-110
10 x [Ring of Twilight Shadows] - 20 Shadowgem, 20 Bronze Bar
You can also continue to make [Ring of Silver Might]
110-120
10 x [Heavy Stone Statue] - 80 Heavy Stone
If Heavy Stone is cheap (usually it's not) make this one up to 130 if you want to.
120-150
30 x [Pendant of the Agate Shield] - 30 Moss Agate, 30 Bronze Settings
If you prospect your own Ores, usually you will get a lot of [Lesser Moonstone] too, but even if you don't prospect the Ores, sometimes 2 Lesser Moonstone is cheaper than one Moss Agate. So get the recipe [Design: Amulet of the Moon] and use up all your Lesser Moonstone. This recipe turns yellow at 140, you might need to make more than 30 of these.
Expert 150-200:
150-180
45 x [Mithril Filigree] - 90 Mithril Bar
180-185
8 x [Solid Stone Statue] - 80 Solid Stone
185-200
15 x [Engraved Truesilver Ring] - 15 Truesilver Bar, 30 Mithril Filigree
Artisan 200-300:
200-220
If Citrine is expensive, you can continue to make [Engraved Truesilver Ring] up to around 210 or maybe more, you will also need a bit more Mithril Filigree then.
The recipe will go yellow at 210, so you might need to get more Citrine if you are unlucky. If you are lucky you will only need 20.
25 x [Citrine Ring of Rapid Healing] - 25 Citrine, 50 Mithril Bar
220-225
5 x [Aquamarine Pendant of the Warrior] - 5 Aquamarine, 15 Mithril Filigree
225-250
50 x [Thorium Setting] - 50 Thorium Bar
Stop making these at 250 and only make more if you need it, but you will need around 50.
250-260
10 x [Ruby Pendant of Fire] - 10 Star Ruby, 10 Thorium Setting
260-280
If Large Opal is expensive on your realm, like it cost twice as much as one Star Ruby, then you should continue to make [Ruby Pendant of Fire] up to 275. Or if you Prospected your own Ores, you will have a lot of Star Ruby and Azerothian Diamond left, use all of them.
20 x [Simple Opal Ring] - 20 Large Opal, 20 Thorium Setting
If you reach 265 and you have a lot of Azerothian Diamond or if it's cheap, you can start to craft [Diamond Focus Ring]. Keep in mind that you will need 7 Azerothian Diamond for the next step.
280-287
7 x [Diamond Focus Ring] - 7 Azerothian Diamond, 7 Thorium Setting
287-290
3 x [Sapphire Pendant of Winter Night] - 3 Blue Sapphire, 3 Essence of Undeath, 3 Thorium Setting
If you don't have Essence of Undeath you can just make [Glowing Thorium Band] up to 290.
290-300
Make a few [Glowing Thorium Band] if you have some Azerothian Diamonds left.
10 x [Emerald Lion Ring] - 20 Huge Emerald, 10 Thorium Setting

[Brilliant Blood Garnet], [Solid Azure Moonstone], [Radiant Deep Peridot], [Inscribed Flame Spessarite], [Timeless Shadow Draenite]

If the Darkmoon Faire is open, make only 5 [Mercurial Adamantite] at the next step and then make more gems to reach 340 where you should make only 5 [Heavy Adamantite Ring] and you can complete your quest when you reach 345.
325-335
10 x [Mercurial Adamantite] - 40 Adamantite Powder, 10 Primal Earth

[Bloodstone], [Chalcedony], [Dark Jade], [Huge Citrine], [Shadow Crystal], [Sun Crystal]
Cut any gem you want. Seriously, there are like 50 new green gem recipes, I won't list all of them. Go to your trainer, learn one and make that recipe around 55 times.
395 - 400
Make 5 from any of the following items:
5 x [Bloodstone Band] - 5 Bloodstone, 10 Crystallized Earth

23 x [Shadowmight Ring] - 23 Eternal Earth, 23 Eternal Shadow
If you have some [Monarch Topaz], [Twilight Opal], [Autumn's Glow], [Forest Emerald], [Sky Sapphire] or you can buy these for cheaper than the Eternals, go to Wintergrasp and buy the jewelcrafting recipes sold by Stone Guard Mukar (Horde) and Knight Dameron (Alliance). You can only buy these recipes if your faction controls Wintergrasp. One recipe costs 19 honor, which means if you stay here and do a few daily quest while the battle is on, you can buy most of the recipes.
All of these recipes are orange up to 410 and yellow up to 425.
420 - 425
Check the previous part if you don't have Titanium Bar.
5 x [Dream Signet] - 5 Titanium Bar, 5 Dream Shard, 5 Forest Emerald
Illustrious 425-500:
425 - 450
Make 25 from any of the new Uncommon Gem Cuts that you get from your trainer. You can also make [Jasper Ring] if you can disenchant it.
450 - 467
Make around 20 uncommon gems, or you can make 17 [Hessonite Band]
467 - 475
8 x [Hessonite Band] - 8 Jeweler's Setting, 16 Hessonite
You can also make [Carnelian Spikes] if 3 Carnelian is cheaper than 2 Hessonite. You can buy the Jeweler's Setting from the vendor.
475 - 500
25 x [Nightstone Choker] - 25 Jeweler's Setting, 50 Nightstone
Zen 500-600:

4 x [Ornate Band] - 4 Lapis Lazuli, 4 Tiger Opal, 4 Sunstone
512 - 527
5 x [Shadowfire Necklace] - 5 Roguestone, 5 Alexandrite, 5 Pandarian Garnet
You can also just continue to make more [Ornate Band].
If your main goal is to just learn every rare gem cuts. Stop the leveling guide and start making the first gem research [River's Heart] or [Sun's Radiance]. You can only make 1 research a day, but it will give you 3 skill points. You will have to learn like 100 recipes, which means you will reach 600 by making these researches daily.
527 - 575
I could list all the recipes you learn at 525, but there is no real need for that. All of the recipes you learn will stay orange all the way up to 575. You will learn new ones at 530, 535, 545, and so on. Making necks, rings gets you 3 skill points for 3 uncommon gems. Each gem cut gives 1 skill point. You get the same skill point to gem ratio either way. I would choose the necks, rings because it is usually easier for me to sell. You will use 48 gems.
575 - 585
You shouldn't make the necks or the rings because they will no longer grant you 3 skill point. Make any uncommon gem instead. You will use around 20 gems.
585 - 588
Make any gem research like [Primordial Ruby]. It is up to you which one you choose, but it's better to choose one that you have materials for because after the research you will learn a new recipe which you will have to make 6 times. The gem color of the recipe will be the same as the gems you used for the research.
588 - 600
Cut 6 rare gem from the learned recipe.
