Правильно ли будет перевести жемчужину как pearl.
Есть ли в английском другая метафора?

The jewel in the crown


Explanation:
Originally referred to India as the "jewel in the crown" of the British Empire, now generally used for the very best of something good.
Ref.
LEEDS UNVEILS JEWEL IN CROWN
One of Leeds' best-known landmarks is to have a spectacular unveiling after undergoing an 11-month Ј2.5m revamp.
City Square has had a complete facelift including new seats and lamps in stainless steel and bronze designs to contrast with the Edwardian bronze statues and plaques.

The 99-year-old square will boast a new water feature with sixteen jets rising in a semi-circular pattern directly from the paving, illuminated with coloured lights.
