Winner of this year’s Miss Universe will be donning a new crown provided by luxury jeweler Mouawad.
Mouawad will also sponsor the new crowns for the 2020 editions of Miss USA and Miss Teen USA, as per a report from Rappler.
“It’s official! World-renowned luxury jeweler Mouawad is the official crown sponsor for the Miss Universe Organization. Watch the Miss Universe Diamond Crown by #Mouawad make its debut at the 68th Annual #MissUniverse Competition,” the Miss Universe Organization announced on its Facebook page.
Mouawad Co-guardian Pascal Mouawad welcomed the development. He was quoted in the report as saying: “Collaborating with The Miss Universe Organization to design these crowns and tiaras has been a fantastic experience. We look forward to unveiling these unique works of art in the coming months.”
The Mouawad design will replace the Mikimoto crown, which had been worn from 2002 to 2007 and again in 2017. Past crown providers of the Miss Universe crowns include Diamond Nexus Labs, Diamond International Corporation (DIC), and Sarah Coventry.
According to its website, Mouawad started in 1890 in Lebanon. Celebrities such as Demi Lovato, Amy Adams, Celine Dion and models Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid have been worn the Mouawad pieces.
