The 73rd edition of the Miss Universe is days away. To get people excited, the organization has revealed one of its best-kept secrets: this year’s crown, which will be delivered by Sheyniss Palacios, the current Miss Universe.
The crown is called the ‘Lumiere De L’Infini,’ and will be awarded at this year’s ceremony in Mexico City.
The crown’s unveiling was attended by various prominent figures, including Sheynnis Palacios, the current Miss Universe title holder, Raul Rocha, the president and founder of Miss Universe, and Anne Jakrajutatip, the executive director and founder of JKN Global Group Public Limited, the conglomerate that owns the pageant.
Rocha revealed that he considers this year’s crown to be “the most beautiful in the history of Miss Universe,” and that it’s accessorized with various elements that represent some of the organization’s history.

The crown was designed by Jewelmer, a Philippine jeweler, who is working with Miss Universe for the first time. The crown was made by hand through the use of traditional techniques and is made with a rare golden pearl that is the national gem of the Philippines.
It features 23 golden pearls that evoke the feeling of beauty over the ocean.
