Miss Earth is an annual international beauty pageant promoting environmental awareness. Along with its rivals Miss Universe and Miss World contests, Miss Earth is one of the three largest beauty pageants in the world in terms of the number of national-level competitions to participate in the world finals and one of the most publicized beauty contests in the world. The reigning titleholders dedicate their year to promote specific projects and often address issues concerning the environment and other global issues through school tours, tree planting activities, street campaigns, coastal clean ups, speaking engagements, shopping mall tours, media guesting, environmental fair, storytelling programs, eco-fashion shows, and other environmental activities.

The Miss Earth winner is the spokesperson for the Miss Earth Foundation, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and other environmental organizations. The Miss Earth Foundation also works with the environmental departments and ministries of participating countries, various private sectors and corporations, as well as Greenpeace and the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF).

Miss Earth is part of the Big Four international beauty pageants.

ABOUT THE CROWN & JEWELRY

In the 9th edition of the pageant, Miss Earth unveiled a new crown, which was worn by the winner of Miss Earth 2009 with the preservation of the planet Earth as its primary consideration. The crown was designed by an environmentalist jewelry designer, Ramona Haar, the official jeweller of the Miss Earth pageant.

The new crown is made 100% of recycled precious metals: 14kt gold and argentums sterling silver. What sets the Miss Earth crown apart is the fact that the gemstones used both precious stone and semiprecious stone were donations from over 80 different participating COUNTRIES. These are gemstones that each country is known for either as the origin or source. The gemstones were sent in various forms: faceted, cabochons, beads or rough. The designer travelled to Jaipur, India to have these gemstones individually trimmed and faceted to the required cut and sizes.

The flower in the center of the crown represents Mother Earth, as inspired by the statement of an American poet, Ralph Waldo Emerson's "The earth laughs in flowers." The recurring spiral motif has always been associated with "maternal power" and "feminine prestige" which is the essence of Miss Earth. The gentle curves in the crown symbolize "UNITY" and the "SPIRIT of COOPERATION." The Miss Earth Crown is Amounting US$150,000.00 or PHP 7,500,000.00

Starting 2008, Miss Earth winners are bestowed with a special set of jewelry designed and created by Ramona Haar Fine Jewelry, a Florida-based jeweller. The jewelry for Miss Earth winner is amounting to US$ 25,000.00 or PHP 1,200,000.00 plus the Cash price amounting US$ 25,000-30,000.00 while Miss Earth-Fire, Miss Earth-Water, and Miss Earth-Air are amounting to US$ 10,000 or PHP 480,000.00 each set. Plus the Cash price Amounting US$ 15,000.00-20,000.00.
The designs symbolize the categories that each winner represents:

Miss Earth necklace and earrings set has a floral and butterfly motif made of 14 karat yellow and white gold. The colored gemstones used are multishaped peridot, amethyst, blue topaz, rhodolite, citrine, multicolor tourmaline, and diamonds.

I like the fact that the ME crown has meaning but it is badly designed in my opinion.
Majority of pageant critics firing scathingly remarks and unleashing vilest of comments to some candidates,ironically, are not even beautiful themselves aesthetically and worst characterwise.

I lik the meaning of the crown but its design is badly executed. di rin maganda ang fit ng crowns. ayaw ko rin sa design ng elemental crowns. mas maganda ang crowns ng runner up ng Ms International na parang turnilyo lang.

curious pa rin talaga ako kung ano ang itsura ng mga jewelries na pinaimmigay sa Ms Earth winners?

I dont think that's worth 150,000 dollars.
It's just made from recycled semi-precious stones.
Let Tiffany and Co., Christies or Sothebys appraise it's value.

When you talk about miss earth theirs a bias in my feelings, I love our nature, miss earth is the very most important beauty pageant for me, It is over effort activity and programs they inspired other people to become a good role model.. As a woman of the earth! It's only a crown but when you talk about their theme, and activities it is very powerful its not useless to use your beauty with only just sitting their,compared to other pageants its effortless.
PEACE

Ano ang jnspiration for the elemental crowns? Bakit parang star ang nasa gitna? I like the elemental crowns of Ms Philippines Earth. The fit of the elemental crowns above are not very flattering. Most of the time hindi bumabagay sa hairstyles ng mga elemental queens. I do like that they treat each elemental queen as equals. Sana magredesign sila ng elemental tiaras na mas maganda ang fit sa ulo.

1 set ng jewelries amounting US$ 25,000.00 at para den sa kaalaman ng karamihan na pilit dinadown ang Miss Earth, at kunikompara sa MGI.

ng Miss Earth.

Miss Earth should more focus on the production than the crowns.I know the crown its a symbol of the pageant but there are more important things to focus one.One is to get a host country out of Philippines. Otherwise their winning prize is really nice. :-* :)>-
