I have collected a big pile of gemstones, various rings and amulets hoping I could get them imbued with spells or soemthing. I am already into chapter 5 though and they are clogging up my inventory appear to only have pecuniary value.

Is there any other uses I should consider saving them for, or should I just sell my hoard?

You can't do anything with gems except sell them, so definitely get your money out of them. Rings and amulets may be magical, but if they are not (use identify) then they should just be sold. There is no ability in the game to enchant non-magical rings or amulets.

Some gems/jewelry are required for quests/encounters, and in BG2 upgrading some items, but in general, they're are just for selling. It is a good idea though to sell them to a merchant you know you can get easy access to just in-case you find a quest that needs one.
