The difference between a gem a jewel and a semiprecious stone is minimal.

A gem is a stone of value such as a diamond, but it may be in its raw state. A jewel is a finished gem, one that has been worked t make it show its desirable qualities

Semiprecious stones are gems that are considered to be of value, but do not have as high a value as the major gems such as diamonds and rubies.
