Socketing as I remember it:

Gems and Skulls can be placed inside socketed items - either weapons, shields or helms.

The quality of the gem is important. But flawless and perfect gems are incredibly rare.

Gems can be upgraded with the Horadric Cube - three identical gems = one gem of the next quality and the same colour.

Gems *cannot* be removed once socketed - so you cant have three perfect rubies and them switch them with saphires when fighting cold-using enemies. Although 3-socket swords arent *that* rare. More important you cant put 2 perfect and one flawed and them replace the flawed later.
