It doesn't matter if you have enough G to crush (roughly, these two add up to at least 1WG). As you said, forging can make holes, and jewelry can be made into exclusive gems. In addition, I think FM is also good. You can give yourself a ring FM.

So forging+jewelry and forging +FM can be considered.

PS. I'm 74, mining+jewelry. No way, we are poor, so we can only practice jewelry by collecting self-sufficiency, hehe.
