The Blue gem now has the same shape that the Yellow gem used to have, while the Yellow gem itself has a much taller crown, greatly increasing its resemblance to an Asscher cut. The Green gem is still a Trillion cut, but has a more detailed pavilion.

The Red gem appears identical to all of the gems from the first game's remaster. The Reignited Trilogy likewise adds its own refinements to each gem. Lastly, the Magenta gem has been changed to a darker color, and it shares the same cut as the Red gem, albeit squished to resemble an Oval cut more. The Yellow gem was given a cut resembling a cross between an Asscher and a Radiant.

The Blue gem's colour was changed to a more indigo hue, and it was given an Emerald-esque cut. The Green gem now resembles a Trillion cut. The Red gem has been changed to resemble a Brilliant cut, albeit one without a proper girdle. All of the gems have received their own unique cuts to further differentiate them from each other. Some gems in Ripto's Rage! are different from the original. Spyro will also need all 10,000 of them to unlock the mystery door in Dragon Shores, which contains the permanent Superflame powerup. Gems need to be collected in order to pay Moneybags in exchange for access to various realms, areas within realms or abilities. The Blue and Magenta Gems have also had their colours slightly tweaked. In the Reignited Trilogy, they have been modified to more closely resemble an octagonal version of a classic Round Cut with a flat, octagonal pavilion. In this game, the gems are all the same shape, with the crown composed of a hexagonal pyramid and the pavilion made up of a hexagonal cylinder atop an inverted hexagonal pyramid. Each gem color corresponds to a certain amount of treasure: Gnasty Gnorc's army of gnorcs and villains are created from the treasure and will turn back into gems when defeated. The remaining 2,000 treasure are contained in Gnasty's Loot, which is considered a bonus realm and counts beyond 100% completion in the game. They can be found in gem containers, from treasure chests to metal vases, or are simply lying around in the open. 12,000 are officially counted as missing from the dragons' treasury and are needed to open the realm Gnasty's Loot. There are 14,000 treasure in the game total. Treasures are needed to advance to new homeworlds in Spyro the Dragon.
