This is basically impossible in anything but the most linear level, and almost pointless for a feature as minor as the one discussed here. Note that the purple gems idea and the later green/blue/gemrings idea are literally afterthoughts. I make the levels and then when everything else is completely finished, I go "oh this would be a good spot for some hard to get gems". It's just done to amuse players.
