  1. “You’re a gem”, he said to me. It was the nicest thing he’d ever said. I felt like a gem at that moment, but in the worst possible way. It was like my edges had been worn ragged in the last year, my nerves were stripped for all those around me to see, and every smile I made was tinged with the sharp, shiny glint that belies genuine emotion.

  2. Everything about her was lovely. From the tip of her head to the bottom of her feet. Her eyes glowed with the radiance of an early morning sunrise. She seemed perfect in every way. I could hear her voice echoing in my ears throughout the day. Her lips touching the softness of my cheek. She was my gem.

  5. A gem of a photo, gem of a thought, gem-like, gem relates to diamond in the rough. That’s a gem of a painting you’ve got there. Gems are precious because they are hard to find. That’s a gem of a garage sale item!! Also hard to find!

  6. gems are beautiful. They shine, they glow, theyre everything you need to complete an outfit. They accent things fairly nicely. Gems are gems, one of a kind, like people. Gems and people have similarites. They can be rough, they can be smooth, and always, one of a kind.

  8. I hate gems. I never really liked them. I’m a girl and I don’t like them. Other girls always think that something is wrong with me. I just really don’t like all those sparkly things on me. I like plastic stuff. Is that weird? Hey, I really like cupcakes. I’m trying to get my mind off of things because this guy prank called me and I know his voice. I just can’t think of his name.

  9. I am a gem a gem has many colors jade like green in jewelry my stepmom wears a lot of jewelry it’s so obnoxious anyhow gems are hard to find I wonder if gold is a gem? I don’t think it is sometimes we talk about gems in earth science. That class is a pain in my ass. but mostly we talk about minerals. I think gems are minerals? In all honestly I have no clue.

  10. rare and beautiful. sometimes uneasily discoverable. could be the inner most being of a person, not just the physical rock that we all naturally think of. it goes deeper. it’s potential.

  11. I think gem is a stupid word, which should be pronounced more like ghem.

  12. a gem is a beautiful jewel, etching of the past that have been seen in our future. They are beautiful and held at a high price for their luster. They come in many color, textures and sizes. The brighter the luster, the more beautiful one is considered.

  13. hard to get, looks so good but comes with a great price. addictive.

  14. She loves gems in all shapes, colors and cuts. But only of the finest quality, thanks, or you can just quit now. She lives by the motto “diamonds are a girl’s best friend.”

  15. Gem stones, natural wonder incarnate, a non functional mineral yet their beauty leads to bloodshed, wealth status and power, a mere rock from the earth can move the hearts of many, entrap hearts within greed and force the toil of others to satisfy our need

  16. There is no one who can replace you. You are a gem. You are priceless.

  17. i love gems. they remind me of my grandmothers old costume jewelry which I loved to try on when I visited her. They always make a girl whether she is 6 or 106 feel like a princess.

  18. The term gem has been used throughout time to describe the physical object, filled with luster, but most importantly it has been used to describe our children. Children make up the most important aspects of our lives, and when we reminisce about our past, we smile upon their innocence and happiness.

  19. A gem of a girl, a gem of a girl
    soft as a pear, white as a pearl.
    See her dress twirl, see her steps whirl,
    her anger unfurl, her crashing-down world.

  22. Her eyes sparkled like gems as he gazed deeply into them. Her eyes were, after all, that which attracted him to her in the first place. They were the dark green of emeralds, with the sparkling reflection of diamonds. He could get lost in those eyes forever, and never want to return to the world — a world which looked so dull in comparison to those beautiful eyes.

  23. priceless object for a loved one. sparkles in the sunshine, something you can stare at. a doorway into infinity, with beauty and mystery. a rainbow in a ring, necklace or bracelet. a person who is invaluable.

  24. hmmm this is weird. A gem makes me think of a red stone which makes me think of a green one which in turn makes me think of a diamond which makes me think of a human. Woman in particular and their obsession with jewelry.

  26. Glittering, beautiful, flawless. They’re full of color, and vibrant. Lifeless though they are, they are the very definition of beauty in out society. Unrefined or smooth, they have the ability to represent anything.

  29. I used to have a gem as a child that I cherished and held dear in a box next to my bed for years. It was my favorite thing and I would show it to everyone. But, one day I woke up and the box was gone. I wasn’t too sad because it wasn’t a real gem, but I had lost my favorite item. One of the saddest days of my life…

  30. My children are my gems – shiny, bright, new, precious, sometimes hidden beneath dirt and grime, but give them a spit and polish and voila! there they are – my very own gems. Tom is red, Kat is blue and Will is bluey-red xxx

  32. indiana jones found the gem in the temple and quickly replaced it with a skull… making the whole thing collapse with a ridiculous pretty darn anti-caveman technology. ;)

  33. sometimes i call people gems with a hint of satire– what a gem! but i want someone to really think of me as a gem. i want to be valued, treasured, special, one of a kind. a gem is irreplaceable.

  35. Like a gem in his hand, he treats her as if she were truly his. She radiates a brilliance that no one can appreciate but him, but the glowing gem eats away his soul while he suffers the pain of unrequited love.

  36. he looked at her with soft eyes. she was everything to him. her emerald green eyes twinkled in the light of the moon and he kissed her forehead gently.

  39. a gem is green like oz.
    a gem is heavy and bold.
    why do we chase them though?
    grass is green like oz.
    and we are all heavy.
    let’s all be bold.

  40. Something that is worth a lot. For some reason, ruby was the first thing that came to my mind. Or something being called a “gem” because they’re so awesome. Which, when you think about it, isn’t much of a compliment, since they’re calling you a rock. Actually, it’s rather insulting if you think about it. At least you’re shiny.
