Newbie Crafter Looking for Info

This question is specifically about crafted sets.

Currently i'm 30 in blacksmithing and have gotten up to 3 traits on most pieces I craft. This has allowed me to do some of the lower level sets, but i'm having fun and understanding how to become a more capable crafter. One day i'll make some of those fancy 8-trait sets, but one thing does confuse me a bit.

I see people discussing # of pieces they're wearing and I might be slightly confused.

As far as I understand 6 pieces can be worn:

Head
Chest
Arms
Legs
Waist
Feet

And one piece for each hand:

Main hand
Off hand

This allows for 8 slots.

As all sets require at least 2 pieces for initial bonus, i'm guessing commonly people go 4 / 2 / 2 or 5 / 3

Can jewelry be part of sets? 11 slots would allow for some more diverse combinations, but I can't seem to find any info on it. Likely that means such is not possible, but I figured i'd ask you guys here on the board.

Thanks in advance for any information.

    The sets have a benefit from wearing multiples if you read them It takes at least two of a set to get any extra benefits.

    Check out the crafting sets to see what they each offer.

    Thank you for responding, but I don't feel like you read my post at all...

    ... and shoulder. So there are 7 armor slots.

    Yes, 3 slots (neck and 2 rings), however we cannot craft jewelry so most people mix in a dropped set with whatever crafted sets they use.

    I know there's armor sets where jewelry is a part of it as well but there's not a lot (from what I'm aware of, think it'll be more common in the future tho). These sets are not craftable since you can't craft your own jewelry so you have to obtain them. Myself I'm wearing a 3 piece jewelry set combined with two craftable sets as armor.

    There's 7 pieces btw, you forgot about arm cops/epaulets ;)

    Yes, jewelry can be a "set" in itself even.

    Any dropped set that contains neck and rings can serve as a 3 piece set, Neck +2 ring, all by itself.

    Here's one of the best sites for looking at all sets, dropped and crafted. Pictures and stats on almost all items.
