Equipped gems level up as you earn XP, receiving ten percent of their foundation XP granted from monster kills. Your personality encounters an XP penalty when revisiting lower level regions, but that penalty doesn't apply to gems. Thus you can certainly level gems by replaying areas that are a few levels lower than your current level.
Don't pick up every single piece of loot you locate
Each piece of loot you get requires up varying levels of room in your luggage compartment. To take as many potential things at the same time, you have to move things around and squeeze items into the mmogo-com PoE currency allotted spaces. Even then, your bag is likely to fill up fast if you pick up each and every item you encounter.
The trick, then, is to dismiss things that your character can't utilize or are of reduced price. Item rarity is indicated by colors: White: Norma,Blue: Magic,Yellow: Rare, Orange: Particular.
You can pretty much discount white things unless you're going to head back to town and have the space to spare for them. Rarer things are usually worth picking up and promoting, even in the event that you need to hold onto them for a while. And of course, any item that appears better than your existing equipment is worth catching -- even in the event that you have to drop something else temporarily while you equip it.
