Most interestingly, this crown is not machine-made, but entirely handmade. It was designed by Jewelmer, a renowned jewelry company in the Philippines. This is the first time the Philippines has produced a Miss Universe crown.
Made of 18-carat gold, this crown is studded with 1,400 diamonds, making it extremely dazzling and attractive. The crown features 23 South Sea golden pearls, considered among the rarest and most precious pearls in the world.
The South Sea golden pearls in this crown are considered extremely valuable. These pearls come from the Philippines' marine regions and symbolize its cultural and natural heritage.
The crown's making process is also unique. Traditional jewelers first carve the wax, then gradually embellish it with gold, diamonds, and pearls. This technique has been used in the Philippines for generations.
