Usable Item Level
Characters can not use items that have too high a level. The usable item level depends on the level of the character. A level 40 character, for example, can not equip items that have level 53 or more.
Equipping Armor that has a level higher than your own will result in a movement speed penalty. This penalty is reduced through use of Armour Lore, essentially increasing your character's level for the purpose of equipping gear.
Equipping a weapon or shield that has a level higher than your own will result in an attack speed penalty. This penalty is reduced through one of the six specific Weapon Lores:
Equipping Jewelry comes with no overt penalty, however, if you socket higher level jewelry into an item with a lower item level the equipment level will increase to match that of the highest level ring/amulet/rune within it. Socketing jewelry in this way, for example, by using a piece of jewelry from a much higher level, may increase the level of the item to make it unusable for the character.
