Not really a matter of opinion if you know the stones, some crowns are just a lot more valuable than others. It can be interesting reading about some of the stones and their history, how they've changed hands, such as Black Prince's Ruby on the UK Imperial State Crown.
en.wikipedia.org
>The stone is believed to have originated from the Badakhshan mines in present day Afghanistan[3] and Tajikistan,[4]
>The Black Prince's Ruby dates back to the middle of the 14th century as the possession of Abū Sa'īd, the Arab Muslim Prince of Granada.
>When Abū Sa'īd met with Don Pedro, the King had Abū Sa'īd's servants killed and may have personally stabbed Sa'īd to death himself. When Sa'īd's corpse was searched, the spinel was found and added to Don Pedro's possessions.
>In 1366, Don Pedro's illegitimate brother, Henry of Trastámara, led a revolt against Don Pedro. Lacking the power to put down the revolt unaided, Don Pedro made an alliance with the Black Prince, the son of Edward III of England. The revolt was successfully put down and the Black Prince demanded the ruby in exchange for the services he had rendered.
>During his campaign in France, Henry V of England wore a gem-encrusted helmet that included the Black Prince's Ruby.[7] In the Battle of Agincourt on 25 October 1415, the French Duke of Alençon struck Henry on the head with a battleaxe, and Henry nearly lost both the helmet and his life. The battle was won by Henry's forces and the Black Prince's Ruby was saved.
>Richard III is supposed to have worn the gemstone in his helmet at the Battle of Bosworth, where he died.

There are loads of interesting crown jewels like this which have gone all over the world.
UK Crown Jewels are a pretty big deal. There's THREE major British Crowns. The Cullinan diamonds are split into a few major pieces, from the biggest diamond ever or whatever, and then there's also the koh-i-noor diamond which was the other biggest diamond ever or whatever. In terms of value UK Crown Jewels probably worth more than most other countries put together.

actually that crown looks bad compared to others
