Miss Universe and Miss World Crown: Look A Like
 OLD MISS UNIVERSE CROWN (1963-2001)
 MIKIMOTO CROWN (2002-2007)The
long standing symbol of pageantry, such as Miss USA and Miss Universe,
has always been the ornate and opulent crown. In fact, the crown is so
central to the titles that often the women who is chosen as the winner
of one of the pageants is commonly said, especially by the media, to
have "won the crown," rather than to have "won the title". The elusive
crown is the one constant in the Miss Universe Organization
- a partnership with Donald J. Trump and National Broadcasting Company,
Inc. As the titleholders change every year and continue on to other
pursuits, the crown stays with the Organization, waiting patiently for
the next titleholder to proudly wear it.In 2002, master pearl designer Mikimoto
became the official jewelry sponsor of the Miss Universe Organization,
creating all three crowns and tiaras since then, which includes the
crown for Miss Teen USA, Miss USA and Miss Universe. The radiant and
lustrous Miss Universe crown, shown here, features one 18mm size pearl,
the most rare and largest pearl created by any oyster. The crown also
has 500 diamonds, totaling almost 30 carats and 120 Akoya and South Sea pearls
and is valued at $250,000. The design takes inspiration from the
phoenix, the gorgeous and majestic bird with breathtaking gold and red
plumage. In mythology, the phoenix has been associated with immortality
and rebirth because of stories that it regenerates when wounded by a foe
and that at some point the bird will ignite its nest and both nest and
bird will burn fiercely and be reduced to ashes, from which a new, young
phoenix arises. Following that association, Mikimoto used the plumes of
the rising phoenix to symbolize eternal beauty, status and power. The
crown was designed and created on Mikimoto Pearl Island in Japan. The
length of the Mikimoto sponsorship is unknown, however, based on its
sophisticated elegance and the grace it bestows on the titleholder the
breathtaking beauty of the crown has already become memorable.  SPECIAL EDITION MISS UNIVERSE CROWN FOR 57TH PAGEANT
This
is the new Miss Universe 2008 Crown and the 57th pageant will be
crowned with this masterpiece which was designed by CAO Fine Jewelry,
Vietnam. Vietnam is also this years host for the event.
“The
curved design creates a natural rhythm and a stable structure for the
crown, symbolizing the spirit of unity. The crown combines the beauty
and the character of each nation, accomplishing the goal of the pageant,
which is international unity”, explained designers Ms. Kim Lien and
Rosalina Lydster.
Valued
at $120 thousand dollars, it is made of 18K white and yellow gold. It
is comprised of over 1,000 precious stones; including 555 white diamonds
(30 carats), 375 cognac diamonds (14 carats), 10 smoky quartz crystals
(20 carats) and 19 morganite gemstones (60 carats). The colors of the
jewels chosen for the crown have great significance. The yellow luster
of the gold represents the prosperous thriving economy in Vietnam.
White, light pink and cognac are the main hues in the crown which
represent inspiration and feeling.Each piece of the crown was designed
to represent an important attribute of the Miss Universe Pageant. The
curves of inlaid precious stones represent the strong development and
potential of each country. The image of the crane (Lac Bird) symbolizes
Vietnamese spirit and culture. The image of the heart represents unified
breath, rhythm and vision, which are powerful internal forces that
stress faith, hope and unity.
