Author's note

HDGEMS2 by Helen Duggan is a free gemstone dingbat font built from oval jewels, beaded settings, and fine ornamental linework, with diagram-like divisions within each stone. The symbols range from spare cabochon-like outlines to densely faceted forms, with repeated dots and loops suggesting prongs, pearls, or metalwork around prominent central stones.

Their close connection to jewelry illustration makes them useful for boutique branding, accessory packaging, invitation details, fashion editorial pages, or museum exhibition graphics. The collection speaks most directly to jewelers, vintage-accessory sellers, and designers creating ornate event stationery.
