ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Assembled gem

An assembled gem is like building a puzzle. Imagine you have a box with many different pieces, and each piece is a part of a beautiful picture. Now, to make a complete picture, you need to put all the pieces of the puzzle together in the right order. In the same way, an assembled gem is made by putting together different pieces of a gemstone to make a whole gem.

Usually, a gemstone is cut into multiple pieces, and each piece is called a facet. Think of it as cutting a delicious cake into smaller pieces that you can put together and make it even more beautiful. Once these facets are cut, they are carefully polished and then assembled one by one into a beautiful gemstone.

It's just like creating a perfect Lego building, where each Lego piece is given importance in its unique way, and when assembled together, it creates a beautiful masterpiece. An assembled gem might not be as expensive as a single, large gemstone, but it requires skill and precision to create a beautiful piece.
