Another unique trait of Miss Earth is having a crown which is made of 100% recycled precious metals. Since 2009, they have been giving this crown to the winner. What sets it apart from others is the fact that the gemstones used in the crown were donations from 80 plus participating nations of Miss Earth. These are gemstones that each country is known for either as the origin or source, making the crown really unique and a jack of all trades. The flower in the center of the crown represents Mother Nature as inspired by the statement of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s “The earth laughs in flowers.”
