[[MoodWhiplash Yeah.]])[[note]]Comet still serves as producer[[/note]]. The protagonist Momona is brought by her cousin's wife to the Jewel Palace in order to become a Petit Lady, a contestant for the title of Lady Jewel, the queen of Jewel Land. After three years of comedic seasons, ''Lady'' adopts a serious tone which harkens back to the days of ''Twinkle'', although it doesn't return to the MagicalGirl genre.

It has the distinction of being the first collaboration between Sanrio and another toy company, creating a successful CashCowFranchise in Japan that lasted until 2015.

** DarkIsNotEvil: Black-eyed Jewelpets ([[CaptainObvious except when they are]]). Yuuma may also count as an example, because while his design is dark and brooding, he's really a NiceGuy.
