The crown that illuminates Miss Universe 2009 Stefania Fernandez was selected by the votes of thousands of people across the globe via Diamond Nexus Labs' "Choose The Crown" website. Of the three potential crown designs - Hope, Peace, and Unity - Peace was the ultimate winner. This crown, arrayed with over a thousand pristine lab-created jewels, is accented by a series of deep, flawless cultured rubies to represent Miss Universe's tireless campaign to promote HIV/AIDS awareness and education. The crown's repeating oval pattern was inspired by the crowns of modern monarchs to reflect the regality and grace of this exquisite woman. As the first eco-friendly jeweler in history to partner with the Miss Universe Organization, Diamond Nexus Labs is thrilled and honored to have created this masterpiece.

The crown is set with 1,371 gemstones, weighing a total of 416.09 carats. It contains 544.31 grams of 14k and 18k white gold as well as platinum.
