- Gems are the basic in-game currency that allows players to purchase numerous accessories and den items.

- Gems can be earned by playing the various minigames and even recycling unwanted items.

- Sapphires are our Premium in-game currency that are used to buy new avatars, dens, pets, and items.

- Sapphires can be purchased with real money via an In-App Purchase.

- Players with memberships on Animal Jam Classic are awarded Sapphires everyday they login to Animal Jam.

- Please note that any Premium items, avatars, den, or pets recycled will grant gems, not Sapphires!
