Is there any more efficient way of levelling up jewellery crafting at present? AFAICT the only realistic way of levelling it is to deconstruct decent level jewellery, and the only way to get it (I mean short of buying it or getting someone else to go on a crafting blitz) is to dolmen farm in Alik'r or Auridon or somewhere. From casual observation, though I haven't carefully analysed the numbers, it takes about 7 deconstructions per level and I get on average about one piece of jewellery per dolmen. So to get from my current level 44 to 50 I'm looking at doing at least 40 dolmens. I suspect that may cause me to lose the will to live. I still have flashbacks to closing all the gates in Oblivion (I was collecting sigil stones... after that I created a mod to make them available at merchants) and don't think I can face doing the same thing again. Argh.

Of course I suppose it doesn't have to be levelled up but it would be nice to at least have the option to make my own CP160 jewellery if the fancy takes me. And then there's also the gnarly issue of finding more than the three basic traits for someone who is strictly a solo player, other than haranguing an already overly-harangued friend or buying examples from guild stores.

What's especially frustrating is I was getting a high-experience deconstructable item from doing the jewellery writs, which I only found out about a few days before the last patch; and since then I only get jewellery with a high resale value but nothing that I can train my crafting with.
