Stones embedded in a crown (6)

I believe the answer is:

jewels

(Other definitions for jewels that I've seen before include "Adornments of gems and precious metals" , "Diamonds, rubies, sapphires etc" , "Diamonds, rubies, emeralds etc" , "Gemstones" , "Precious stones and minerals" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
