Remember that jewels can be removed from one item and reused, so they are no longer consumables.

However, what you mention about them adding a new tier is what can save this. Just adding one new tier will triple the amount of cracked jewels needed to reach that last tier, so this is indeed the solution. When we reach saturation of cracked jewels, just adding another tier will create market demand all over again.
