The Bijou, meaning “jewel” in french, was named for the three gem stone colored ingredients: gin for diamond, vermouth for ruby, and chartreuse for emerald. It was invented by Harry Johnson “the father of professional bartending,” dating back to the 1890’s.
The Tipperary is a riff on this cocktail for its use of sweet vermouth and green chartreuse.
