With the last episode uploaded I wanted to give a big thank you to the people behind the Jewel Riders Archives website, blog and YouTube-channel, without you guys I would have never come to love this show much as I do now. A show I barely remembered as a child that stuck in my memories for a very long time and now after many years I’ve finally been able to see the whole series and its magic.
So thank you for introducing us old and new fans to this hidden gem from the 90’s.

Let's say a princess asked you to be her best friend. Would you jump at the chance? That was precisely the role that a lady-in-waiting was hired to fill. You would have to be of noble birth, of course, but let's imagine that luck was in your favor. Considering how many stories, films, and shows are about princesses, it's surprising how few of them acknowledge their esteemed companions. If a princess is a superhero, her lady-in-waiting would be her sidekick. Is being a sidekick so bad? You would still get to be part of the all action at court. In the episode "Song of the Rainbow," when Tamara is gifted with a magical harp, the man who gives it to her refers to her as "Lady Tamara." One requirement to be a lady-in-waiting is to be musically inclined, so it would not be much of a stretch to assume that Tamara might be one of Princess Gwenevere's ladies-in-waiting. It isn't much of a surprise that this show would be one of the few princess stories to include noble ladies because it was a show about friendship, first and foremost. From @ "The #Princess #Blog".

“Long before Sofia the First received her magical amulet, there was Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders (also known as Starla and the Jewel Riders). Featuring three girls wielding enchanted jewels powered by friendship!
In many ways, Jewel Riders was ahead of its time. Instead of focusing on an ordinary girl from the real world who was granted mysterious powers, Princess Gwenevere resides in a completely re-imagined version of Avalon where magic is commonplace and is well aware of her magical destiny. She has been preparing for it her entire life. In this detailed world, young people are chosen by Merlin to wield magical jewels to solve problems with unstable magic outbreaks, commonly referred to as wild magic. Unlike most princess stories of the era, Jewel Riders had very little romance, and it was never a central part of the plot. Instead, the series focused on the magic of friendship, long before My Little Pony coined that phrase. In order to use their enchanted jewels, each Jewel Rider participated in a friendship ceremony, where they bonded with an animal friend that their jewel would allow them to communicate with. Gwenevere’s bonded unicorn friend can even fly! The three central Jewel Riders are as physically diverse as their personalities. Gwenevere, who wields the Sun Stone, is very much a girly girl. She loves shopping, obsesses over her appearance, and can be a bit selfish at times. Tamara, who wields the Heart Stone, is a calming healer who sings and takes care of baby animals. She also has pink hair, which is awesome. Fallon, who wields the Moon Stone, is a skilled athlete and is also the tomboy of the group. When the Jewel Riders are together or with their animal friends, they can use their friendship to strengthen their magic by forming an enchanted jewel circle because friendship is magic and all that good stuff. The series still had a small but loyal fan base. My first online friend, Stormy, had a fantastic website dedicated to the show. She sent me episodes that I hadn’t seen on VHS and helped to complete my collection of trading cards. Several years later, I started my own fan group on LiveJournal. More recently, super fans Ronnie and Chris wielded the magic of the world wide web and social media by starting the Jewel Riders Archive about two years ago. They singlehandedly revived the fan community and released all kinds of never before seen pre-production materials, such as scripts, prototypes, style guides, and story boards. There’s even an extensive interview with toy designer, Greg Autore, who talks about not only how he influenced the design of the Jewel Riders dolls, but also Barbie dolls, Disney Princess dolls, and more!”
