A diamond of hope
Farore's Pearl: This green rune-etched pearl is held by the Great Deku Tree of the Great Sea. Link is given this second pearl by the Great Deku Tree for heroic deeds in service to the Korok people. Along with the other two pearls, it is used to draw up the Tower of the Gods from beneath the waves.
This diamond once decorated the crown of one of the most excessive and out of touch monarchs in history. While their people starved, they commissioned ever grander displays of wealth. When the stone was stolen and sold by revolutionaries to feed the hungry, it became a true symbol of hope to the people.

This is my take on the hope diamond. The jewel probably began its life as the Tavernier Blue, a massive violet gem with perfect clarity that was cut for King Louis XIV of France and was stolen during the French Revolution.
Gems and other transparent materials are difficult for me to capture so this set of three great gems was a tall order to complete.
Be excellent to everyone.
