The Miss Universe Organization has officially unveiled its new crown, titled “The Light of Eternal Legacy,” which will be awarded to the winner of this year’s competition, marking the pageant’s 75th anniversary in Puerto Rico.
Designed by renowned jeweler George Wittels in collaboration with Paris-based Maison d’Or, the crown is crafted from 18-karat white gold and features 3,150 brilliant-cut diamonds.
Its design pays tribute to the women who have shaped Miss Universe over the past seven and a half decades. Three central diamonds represent the pageant’s past, present and future, honoring former titleholders, current contestants and generations of women yet to come.
The crown was presented at The Miss Universe Experience in Plaza Las Américas, a shopping center in San Juan. The exhibition features 18 iconic crowns, along with memorabilia from previous editions, and has welcomed more than 27,700 visitors.
“The Light of Eternal Legacy” will be presented to the new Miss Universe during the grand finale on November 24 at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in Puerto Rico.
The 75th edition brings together more than 100 contestants from around the world as part of the celebrations marking the pageant’s diamond anniversary.
