royal treasures

Monarch's precious heirlooms

Royal treasures are valuable objects belonging to a monarchy—crowns, scepters, jewels, and ceremonial regalia accumulated over generations.

The term suggests not just monetary worth but historical and symbolic significance: The Tower of London houses the royal treasures of England.

Extended loosely to any prized possessions: She kept her grandmother's letters like royal treasures.
