I recently took up jewel crafting and I think it's somewhat justified that it pays less than armor crafting, because it is easier to do. You only need to dig two sorts of mats and you need fewer plans from the Craft trainer.
Before jewel crafting I did armor and I always found it cumbersome to have so many different sorts of mats in stock.
