jeweled crowns

Gem-encrusted royal headwear

Jeweled crowns are royal headpieces set with precious gems—diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires.

The phrase evokes monarchy, ceremony, and concentrated wealth: The jeweled crowns of Europe sit in museum cases now.

Figuratively, jeweled crowns represent supreme achievement or the pinnacle of power: Silicon Valley's jeweled crowns—the tech giants—face new regulation.
