The mod creators would have to add a completly new and seperate system to accomplish this. As I said, it would come in the far, FAR future. And, actually, its much less complicated than the dying of leather armor and the like. You are just using a set of... How many gemstones exist atm? Maybe 13? So 13 gemstones, with only 4 different combinations, as opposed to every colour known to man, as all combinations of colours have to be accounted for. I don't think each option has to be individually made, it should be possible to make the game combine 2 textures, prioritizing one layer (gem) over another. However, if the gems would look different on different weapons, then it gets a bit harder.

Maybe the options could be limited? For example, haradrim wouldn't necessarily know how to decorate weapons with diamonds and elves might not know how to use amber
