The Gem Collector is a novella by P. G. Wodehouse in the December 1909 issue of Ainslee's Magazine.
Sir James Willoughby Pitt, baronet, a former jewel thief who was expelled from Eton and has since inherited wealth, is in London and bored with life. Seeing a stranger in need in a restaurant, he comes to his aid, and so befriends Spennie Blunt. He later encounters Spike Mullins, a former American criminal associate, who has fled to England and fallen on hard times. Pitt takes him in.
Spennie invites Jimmy to his home, Corven Abbey in Shropshire, and he decides to take Spike with him as his valet.
While there, Jimmy encounters Molly McEachern, with whom he was romantically linked while in New York. Molly is the daughter of John McEachern, formerly a corrupt New York police officer, now prominent in English society and married to Spennie's mother.
