Crown's bright inlays
Gems are precious or semiprecious stones, especially when cut and polished for jewelry: diamonds, rubies, emeralds.
Figuratively, a gem is anything of exceptional quality or beauty: That little café is a real gem, gems of wisdom.
The word carries connotations of rarity and value—something worth seeking out or treasuring.
