The Lumière de L'infini Crown
Jewelmer, a Filipino jeweler and international luxury brand, is the official Crown Sponsor for the Miss Universe 2024. The brand is known for being the "world's leading cultivator of the rare golden South Sea pearl."
Described as a "one-of-a-kind creation" and a "pinnacle of excellence and savoir-faire," the Lumière de L'infini Crown was made through the efforts of Filipino pearl farmers and Filipino master craftsmen over five years, practicing traditional techniques used in the Place Vendôme.
It is adorned with South Sea pearls, but not just any regular pearl. The crown used golden South Sea pearls, considered the rarest shade in the world.
"An exquisite ode to life and its universal elements, the crown captures the brilliance of our co-existence with Mother Nature. It brings to life Jewelmer’s pledge: As long as there is a pearl, there is life shining through every moment," Jewelmer said in their press statement. "As the first Filipino-crafted crown in the Miss Universe Organization’s renowned history, Jewelmer is honored to shine the light on the Philippines’ beauty and artistry to international audiences."
