MANILA, Philippines — Mexico’s Andrea Meza was crowned as the Miss Universe 2020 queen and that means she will be wearing the $5-million (around P253 million) Mouwad Miss Universe Power of Unity Crown.
According to a statement released to the media by the Miss Universe Organization (MUO), Mouwad Miss Universe Power of Unity Crown is crafted with 18-karat gold and more than a thousand diamonds.
“Taking its inspiration from the universal themes of nature, strength, beauty, femininity and fairness, the Mouawad Miss Universe Power of Unity Crown is crafted from 18-karat gold and handset with more than 1,725 white diamonds and 3 golden canary diamonds,” MUO said.
“These hundreds of diamonds are set in intricate interplays of motifs of petals, leaves and vines, representing communities across the seven continents whose bonds unite them in the same purpose of empowering one another. The crown’s centerpiece, a shield cut golden canary diamond weighing a magnificent 62.83ct, and its harmony with the diamonds surrounding it, inspires the crown’s name, the Power of Unity,” it added.
