They used to carry the gems on Hobby Link Japan's website but now that they are out of print, they don't stock them anymore.
You might have better luck with stores that carry older merchandise but as weird as this sounds, you may have a better chance finding them at
Yellow Submarine (Mostly figures) or
Toranoana in Akihabara. I found some rare tchotchke from older series there.
You can also try
K-Books in Ikebukuro. There is a street called Otome Road (Not related to Mai Otome) where you can find a shop that sells trinkets from older series. I once found an out-of-print Natsuki figure there.

Animate won't have them since they cycle out the older stuff quickly in favor of the up and coming anime titles.
Well, I guess this would only help you if you take a trip there lol.
But just in case, here is Toranoana's site. You can attempt to see if they carry any older stuff. You may just have to email them to find out.

Oh...almost forgot about
Mandarake. They sell a lot of used merchandise that includes: Manga, Anime DVDs, CDs, cosplay outfits, copies of Anime scripts and storyboards, figures/dolls, cels, other misc tchotchke.
The older
Mandarake location is in Nakano (Close to uFotable studios/restaurant):

The newer
Mandarake is located in Shibuya inside the same plaza as the HMV. And there is an instrument shop inside so with those landmarks you can't get lost finding it LOL. Anyway, they also carry used merchandise. Easy to waste 8 hours in there.

You can ask the Mandarake people and if they don't have the items then you can probably ask if they know of a possible place to purchase them online if that is your only option.
