Gem Icon Generator

What the gem icon means

Premium value or an in-app currency. Games use it for hard currency; SaaS uses it for high-tier plans.

Achievement icons are the visual currency of gamified products, and they follow an implicit hierarchy: a star means quality, a medal means placing, a trophy means winning, a crown means status or a paid tier. Users read that hierarchy without being taught it. All of them are decoration-heavy — handles, ribbons, facets and points — so as brand marks they need the ornament stripped back to the single dominant shape before they work small.

Where you will actually see it

• in-app currency displays
• premium feature markers
• app icons for jewellery and gaming products

Drawing the gem at 16 pixels

The internal facet lines are thin diagonals. Drop them and keep the faceted outer silhouette.

Stroke weight is the control that matters most here. Lucide icons are drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2px stroke, which means that when the icon is scaled down to 16px the stroke is effectively 1.33px — below one device pixel on a standard-density display. Raising the stroke to 2.5 or 3 before exporting keeps the shape solid; lowering it to 1.5 suits large app icons where a heavy stroke looks clumsy. The editor exposes this as a slider, so you can find the value that survives your smallest target size rather than guessing.

Using it in code

If you want the icon in a Vue project rather than as a downloaded asset, it is a named export of the lucide package:

import { Gem } from 'lucide-vue-next'

<Gem :size="24" :stroke-width="2" />

The download button above gives you something different: the icon composed onto a background with a corner radius, exported as a flat SVG path set. The exporter converts the icon out of its <foreignObject> wrapper first, because a foreign object taints an HTML canvas and would otherwise break PNG and ICO rasterisation.
