jewel

Crown's bright inset

A jewel is a precious stone—a diamond, ruby, emerald, or similar gem, especially one cut and polished for ornament: The crown was set with jewels.

By extension, jewel describes anything or anyone prized for exceptional quality or beauty: She's a jewel of an assistant.

The jewel of a collection is its finest piece.

To jewel something is to adorn it with gems; jeweled means decorated with jewels.
