The Lord’s “Jewels”
A jewel is a precious stone measured by its intrinsic and extrinsic value in the marketplace of men. God’s jewels, as indicated in 3 Nephi 24:13–18, are those people who keep his ordinances and do not speak against their Lord. Those characteristics show the way to “discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not” (v. 18; see also D&C 60:4, 101:3, Exodus 28:15–21).
