It took four months for 10 Czech craftsmen, employing a traditional technique used by royal jewelers, to finish the diamond-encrusted crown worth $300,000 which is used by the winner during her reign year.


Renowned Czech company DIC, or Diamonds International Corp., patterned the crown of the 64th Miss Universe after the Manhattan skyline. The crown is encrusted with 311 diamonds, five pieces of blue topaz, 198 blue sapphires, 33 pieces of crystal and gold.

DIC executives said its 10 experts handcrafted the crown using the traditional techniques of Bohemian glassmakers and the best jewelers, cutters and polishers from the Czech Republic.

The company began its partnership with the Miss Universe Organization in 2014 with an exclusive 10-year contract to produce crowns for the Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants, earning $150 million a year.

According to the Czech embassy, DIC president Luboš Říha founded the company with just $1,000 in his pocket on Oct. 31, 2005. The company sold its first diamonds in mid-2006. It has since gone international, expanding its business activities to Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Poland, Serbia, Russia and United Arab Emirates. It is currently preparing to operate in Vietnam.

The company sells investment diamonds on global markets and manufactures its own luxury crafted jewelry. In just 10 years, DIC clients have risen to 25,000, with its annual turnover exceeding $50 million.

In 2016, DIC began construction of a $120-million luxury hotel complex called DIC Resort near Dubai.

There is only one Miss Universe crown. But this did not stop fans of the reigning Miss Universe for a whole year.

In January 2016 during the beauty queen’s homecoming parade in Araneta Center in Quezon City, several fans showed off their creativity and impeccable sense of humor by wearing homemade versions of the Miss Universe crown.

Some were made of plastic, while others were made of paper. People even shared their crowns with other fans to give them a chance to take photos of themselves and be Miss Universe even just for a few seconds.

Some fans also completed their look with Miss Universe sashes.
