The crown jewels are a collection of historic and obscenely valuable relics closely associated with the British monarchy. For centuries these golden, jewel-encrusted trinkets have been kept under the watchful eye of burly guards in the Tower of London. And to doubly deter thieves, historically the punishment for attempting to steal them was death… something Thomas Blood thumbed his nose at when he waltzed right into the Tower of London and tried to steal them in 1671.

CSM Charles Hayden - Deal? Nah! You Want Me to Purchase Your Product, I'm the Son of a Salesman, You Have to Work to Impress Me. I Learned from Talented Salesmen. The Last thing My Father did before He passed was as an Independent Bank Auditor for "Previously Owned" Car Dealerships (Used Cars).

CSM Charles Hayden - The Last Stone i Purchased. I Got for $13. Valued Unmounted in the US was $66. I Wish I Remembered what I did with the Kimono I got for Half Price by Pitching My Ships Hat into the Deal.
