==Historical Background==
===Gem===
The naming of the Gem Cuirass Set can be explained by examining the definitions of Adaman (Adaman Cuirass Set being the normal quality set). Adaman (more commonly: adamant) refers to any especially hard substance, whether composed of diamond, some other gemstone, or some type of metal. Both adamant and diamond derive from the Greek word adamas, meaning "untameable". Since something made from gemstone can be referred to as adamant, naming this armor set Gem (without actual gems being used in the synthesis) seems probable.
===Cuirass===
A cuirass (from the Latin coriaceus, meaning made of leather, and further from the Latin word corium which was a leather breastplate), is the plate armor formed of a single piece of metal or other rigid material or composed of two or more pieces, which covers the front of the wearer's person. In a suit of armor, however, since this important piece was generally worn in connection with a corresponding defence for the back, the term cuirass commonly is understood to imply the complete body-armor, including both the breast and the back plates. Thus this complete body armor appears in the Middle Ages frequently to have been described as a pair of plates. A related item, the Corselet, is a comparatively light cuirass.
