Yep I agree its a bit confusing.
I enjoy the variety of properties available only on loot or Reforging, which are not Imbuable. I find that it adds purpose to all three systems. If we could imbue all the properties found on loot and Reforging, than it would be fairly stale (just like before there were revamped dungeons).
I strongly suggest
not crafting Turquoise Rings. You will quickly find that they consume too many resources, just to craft a decent ring. The ring is not guaranteed to have the SSI property, it is simply a chance. The tinker magic jewelry (
http://www.uoguide.com/Crafted_Jewelry) has been disappointing since it came out with ML. The jewelry can be easily outclassed by Lesser Artifact (and above jewelry) from the revamped dungeons. The non-unique properties are usually less than 100% intensity. Save the 50% EP from the Ecru Citrine Ring, the properties on the magical jewelry are not worth it.
Stayin Alive,
