In anticipation of the Miss Universe grand finale in Puerto Rico, the Miss Universe Organization unveiled the centerpiece of its diamond edition: "The Shining of Eternal Legacy." This commemorative piece honors the 75-year history of the international pageant.
A highly acclaimed piece of jewelry was created by renowned jeweler George Wittels in partnership with the esteemed Parisian house Maison d'OR. Crafted from 18-carat white gold, the masterpiece features a total of 3,150 brilliant diamonds, embodying the organization's transformation, growth, and progress over a span of 77 years.
A key feature of the crown is its three strategically placed diamonds, symbolizing the contest's historical, current, and future phases. The left diamond honors the women who, over 75 years, have paved the way and made a lasting impact on the competition. In contrast, the right-hand diamond acknowledges and celebrates the contemporary queens who are driving positive change in their communities.
At the heart of the design is a prominent diamond, situated below the organization's signature star, representing the future and the next generation of leaders who will shape the legacy of Miss Universe. The number 75 has been incorporated into the design, paying tribute to the diamond anniversary milestone.
The Miss Universe Organization's CEO, Ronald Day, emphasized the significance of the crown during a presentation, underscoring its dual purpose of recognizing both the historical legacy and the global influence of past titleholders. The crown will be awarded to the winner of the final night's competition on November 24 at the Coliseum in Puerto Rico, marking a transition from Mexican titleholder Fatima Bosch.
