When we say (slang):'Este tÃo es una alhaja', we mean exactly the opposite: a bum, a loser...

 I like that!   On the risk of being offtopic a bit (kindly indulge me ):The word 'tÃo' is quite frequently used for 'that guy' i.e. in popular way. I don't think I have seen 'tÃa' used as frequently in this kind of context? Is there a good female equivalent for it?

NO!!!!! Don't ever ignore me!! Your input is valuable. It's just that sometimes in some specific cases, I'm looking for that specific input. Doh! I need to keep my mouth shut.

Actually, we say the same thing in English. "That guy is a gem!" Depending on the TONE (which is of utmost importance for this phrase), it could either mean (1) that the guy is truly a fabulous and wonderful person, or (2) that the guy is such a loser that you need a euphemism to describe him....

Also the jewelry are used in the piropos toward the woman.
I mean, if you are crossing the street and, I see you, therefore I can tell you. ( Eres una joya)
