jeweled throne

Ornate royal chair

A jeweled throne is a ceremonial seat of power decorated with precious stones—the kind of ornate chair associated with monarchs and emperors.

The phrase often appears figuratively for positions of supreme authority or privilege: He acted like he was sitting on a jeweled throne.

In fantasy literature and games, jeweled thrones are standard fixtures of royal courts and ancient kingdoms.
