I'm trying to make this pummel. I'm not sure where to start. If you look at the base of the blue circle where the red gem is there's a triangular shape. Ive tried extruding vertically but it isn't squared off enough

I think a lot has to do with the perspective of the picture but its the only one there is

I know the center and side orange gems are pretty sloppy but they're currently just place holders.

It looks like where the purple gems have some what of a square shape so I made a trapezoid type shape, poked the face a grabbed on the -z axis, then used the mirror modifier to make the one to the left and back side as well.

    $\begingroup$ Think in small increments. Start by blocking out something very simple that is somewhat close to the shape you want and then make more incremental small improvements on it. $\endgroup$

You can copy the shape with some edges:

Then extrude, use the Proportional Editing to round it:

Pull or extrude what is supposed to be bumps:

Bevel the edges that are supposed to be sharp, etc:
