The first Jewel Pod, as seen in Jewelpet Twinkle☆.
A Jewel Pod (ジュエルポッド Jueru Poddo?) is a touch-screen device used by the Jewelpets. Since its debut, the Jewel Pod became a staple item in the franchise and was later made into an interactive toy by Sega Toys.
In the Anime[]
The Jewel Pod first appeared in Jewelpet Twinkle☆. It's actual use is for transporting a Jewelpet into the Human World through a magical portal. It can even send a human and the Jewelpet into Jewel Land using the same transportation, but only through a computer. It can also freeze time, giving the Jewelpet and it's human partner all the time they need in Jewel Land until they return to Earth.
Several features of the Jewel Pod can be activated by touching it like a touch screen phone, which came handy for browsing spells, using a radar to find a human partner or another Jewelpet, and storing magical items like the Rare Rare Drops and the Ble Ble Drops.
In Jewelpet Sunshine, the Jewel Pod retains it's usefulness as a magical item for the students of Sunshine Academy, even for Jewelpets. The Jewel Pod is used as a normal smartphone as well as a caster of magic. Also, the Jewel Pod can become its upgraded form, called the Jewel Pod Crystal[1], which allows the Jewelpets to do much powerful magic. The use continues in Jewelpet Kira☆Deco! and Jewelpet Happiness.
In Lady Jewelpet, the Jewel Pod is used by Lady Candidates to enter the Lady stage. It can be used to try on outfits.[2]
In Jewelpet Magical Change, the Jewel Pod is no longer used as a magical item, only remaining its function as a normal smartphone.
