Get the take me to the jeweler mug.Jewel, every single thing about her is so perfect in every single way. Everyone loves her, she knows how to bring a smile to your face in a minute, just talking to her brightens your day. Shes so kind and thoughtful to the people around her, especially those who she cares about most. However- sometimes Jewel gets a little bit sad too and may need some help in her life, just helping her with something small or saying something kind means so much to her. Everyone sees her as gorgeous- her eyes sparkle in the night and are as blue as the ocean, her freckles are perfectly speckled across her face, her lips are so soft and pretty, her nose has that unique cute little dip in the middle. There's so much more about how gorgeous she looks but i wouldn't have time to type all of that. Jewel is the sweetest girl I know and everyone loves her so so much.

Also a reference to colonial India. India was the British Empire's most important colony: the most populous, the most valuable, the most strategic.
Using "jewel in the crown" to refer to colonial India can also be a play on words about a real crown jewel -- the Koh-i-Noor Diamond, a large precious stone. The Diamond was taken after the defeat of the Indian Punjab by the British East India Company and subsequently mounted in the crown of queens of the British Empire. The current Queen Elizabeth II, aware that wearing the jewel offends many Indians, displays the Diamond in the Tower of London.
Because of the weight of the colonial heritage of the phrase, care must be taken when using the phrase to avoid being racist or insulting. If you lack understanding then it is best to avoid the phrase.
The phrase is often used in a jingoistic fashion in English tabloid newspapers, a recollection of the glory days of the British Empire.
The "Jewel in the Crown" is the title of the first of four books written by Paul Scott in 1966. The books are set during the closing decades of the British Raj. In 1984 these books were made into a television mini-series which was acclaimed for its high quality. Both works have a complex and unsentimental view of colonial India, making the title intentionally ironic.
With both jingoistic and ironic uses of "jewel in the crown" being common, readers should consider in what sense the phrase is meant.

Benjamin Disraeli, Prime Minister of Britain, is said to have called India "the brightest jewel in the crown of the British Empire".
