Definitions and Usage
Juvelic is the name for a group of terms, mainly named after gemstones, that describe attraction based on the gender of the a person and the people they are attracted to. The word "juvelic" presumably comes from the word "jewel", which would match the gem theme. The terms within the juvelic umbrella were coined at different times, but juvelic itself was coined by twilightvelvet on wordpress.com on June 4th, 2018. It was originally thought that the creator only intended juvelic to be used for gender-loving-gender terms, but the creator (presumably) specified that it is open to every gender-specific orientation in an ask that was posted to tumblr user @nbandproud's blog on August 13, 2018. This is unconfirmed, though, as the blog that sent the ask is not confirmed to be twighlightvelvet.

Related Terms
The concept of gender-based terms for orientation is also used in the gender-loving-gender system. The gender-loving-gender system has many counterpart terms for identities in the juvelic system, which is inevitable given that they were created with the same premise.

Flags
Since this is an umbrella term, no flags have been made for it.
