Morphology

sparkler = sparkle (semi-transparent) = sparkle + er

Formed from 'sparkle' + '-er', but this sense is a figurative/slang extension referring to a glittering diamond rather than the literal small firework.

Etymology

Sparkler for a shiny diamond comes from the same idea: from spark and sparkle, because the jewel sends out many small bright flashes. So, calling a diamond a sparkler is a way to say it shines and 'gives off sparks'.
