Yes, propably making the improvement the opposite... if you wanted to
make a resist fire + 30 ring, you propably get a resist fire +10 or -20
ring...

Yes, the costs of many resistancies should propably some exp-function...
Eg. 1 emerald for resist + 1, 2 emerald for +2, 4 for +4 ... 
The function propably could be x^1.5.

I thought about calculating the difficulty to make such a ring similar
or by the item_power. Such a ring would have item_power +50 or
something. So it should take level 25 or 50 jeweler to alter such a ring
(at least). But it should be possible to do such a ring. One has to have
a high enough level anyways to wear such an item (because of
      item_power).

And identifying stuff with jeweler,smithery and all. But i don't see
where exp should come from in skills like smithery or jeweler, when not
from creating things (or identifying them).

In context of experience-rings: I've even once thought of a ring that
alters the amount of gained experience... eg. you get 10% more exp with
a ring :) But such an item is propably not a very good in concern to
balancing.
