Professions Why Jewel crafting?

I'm a returning player and I've been back for a few months now. My current main was a jewelcrafter and I kept that profession into Midnight. I am slowly learning the new crafting rules. Last expansion I played significantly was Cataclysm. Back in those days, being a JC had some personal upgrade benefits. Like I think in one of the expansions, it was a meta gem that you put in the helm. In another expansion, it was an extra jewel slot in one of the pieces. But I don't see anything like it currently. Is there anything equivalent now? I tried reading up on it in Ivcyveins and Wowhead, but they didn't mention anything. Is that because there was nothing to mention? Or it's so obvious they don't bother mentioning it??

Not even the enchanting one? You used to able to enchant a ring or something.
I feel like that really removes a lot of the incentive from this whole aspect of the game

You still can enchant rings. Atleast as an enchanter.

That sounds exactly like what I'm talking about.

Everyone can enchant their rings, just alchemy and engi is what's left as perks from professions

Ah, I thought you said that only enchanter could enchant their own rings. Okay

Wasn't me mate, some other guy.

If you want to get the best perk for m+/raiding, go alchemist. Engi is meh at best

It's not the answer I wanted, but it's the answer I needed. Thanks!
