Big news for Filipino pageant fans! For the first time in Miss Universe history, the winner will be crowned with a masterpiece from the Philippines—a crown crafted by Jewelmer, a Filipino high jewelry brand.
The new Miss Universe crown, named "The Light of Infinity," was revealed in Mexico City on Wednesday.
The crown’s design centers on the Philippines' South Sea Pearl, the country's national gem. Embellished with luminous diamonds, wave-like accents, and a show-stopping golden pearl at its heart, "The Light of Infinity" is more than just a crown—it's a tribute to Filipino craftsmanship. The golden pearl, framed by diamond-studded rays that resemble a radiant sun, captures both beauty and symbolism.
Each pearl is a product of four to five years of careful cultivation, involving a remarkable 377-step procedure that ensures quality and sustainability. This dedication to precision and environmental stewardship reflects Jewelmer’s commitment to ethical luxury, enhancing the crown’s prestige and making it a stunning symbol of Filipino excellence on the Miss Universe stage.
Since 1979, Jewelmer has championed the South Sea Pearl, incorporating its lustrous beauty into each jewelry piece they craft. This crown, however, sets a new precedent, elevating Filipino jewelry to the heights of global recognition.
