the affixes on jewels follow the same rules as the affixes on other items (except a max of 4 affixes on rares). A combination of this and this is all you need.

I think he asked about places where we can find jewels.

Cows drop a whole bunch. I also get a jewel or 2 almost every time I kill the council.

Ghosts/spectres/wraiths etc. are best (~1/560 in 1 player games), followed by cows and all kinds of quill rats (both ~1/1200). All the rest has a chance of 1/1700, with the exception of about 20 monsters.The chances are for one-player games. Regarding bosses, act bosses are the top jewel droppers (with 1st kill Andy and Duriel being the best of them all with a 1 in 49 chance), followed by super-uniques and then random bosses. See ATMA for details.

None of the jewel affixes need high-level monsters (the highest is "ruby" with an alvl of 66 which is equal to the ilvl for jewels), so it's enough to enter a crowded area in hell mode, in particular those with ghost type monsters. Nightmare is not enough, except for WSK 3 and the throne room.
