Jewels
A gemstone (also called a fine gem, jewel, precious stone, or semiprecious stone) is a piece of mineral crystal which, in cut and polished form, is used to make jewelry or other adornments. However, certain rocks (such as lapis lazuli, opal, and obsidian) and occasionally organic materials that are not minerals (such as amber, jet, and pearl) are also used for jewelry and are therefore often considered to be gemstones as well. Most gemstones are hard, but some soft minerals are used in jewelry because of their luster or other physical properties that have aesthetic value. Rarity and notoriety are other characteristics that lend value to gemstones. Apart from jewelry, from earliest antiquity engraved gems and hardstone carvings, such as cups, were major luxury art forms. A gem expert is a gemologist, a gem maker is called a lapidarist or gemcutter; a diamond cutter is called a diamantaire.

Jewels (Waylon Jennings Album)
''Jewels'' is a studio album by American country music singer and songwriter Waylon Jennings, released in 1968 on RCA Victor. Background Jennings, who had enjoyed his biggest hit yet with the #2 hit country single " Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line" in 1968, followed it with the Top 5 hit "Yours Love," which was written by Harlan Howard and included on ''Jewels'', Waylon's ninth LP for RCA. The album is also significant for featuring two songs composed by Merle Haggard, who was recording for Capitol with producer Ken Nelson in Los Angeles and enjoying a degree of musical autonomy that Jennings was pining for in Nashville. In his 2008 book ''Willie Nelson'', author Joe Nick Patoski observes that "the more records Waylon made and the more he understood how the system worked, the less he appreciated what RCA thought was best for him. As his record sales increased, his complaints grew louder. The Nashville Sound was cramping his style." The album also includes Mel Tillis' "M ...
