Ruby

A Japanese (its designer and developer Yukihiro Matsumoto comes from Japan) gem (a ruby) to replace Larry’s jewellery (Larry Wall developed the scripting language perl, which as ‘pearl’ is used in jewellery, and Ruby was intended to replace perl), I was born in the day of Power Macs (Ruby was first released in 1995, the early days of Power Macs).
