crown jewels
Monarchy's prized possessions
Crown jewels are the most valuable or prized possessions of a person, company, or nation.
The term derives from royal regalia but applies broadly: The tech division is the crown jewels of the corporation.
In British slang, crown jewels is a joking euphemism for male genitals. (Capitalized Crown Jewels refers to actual royal regalia.)
