Mouawad, the globally renowned luxury jeweler, in partnership with the Lebanese TV channel LBCI, the Miss Lebanon beauty pageant 2024 organizer, announced the crafting of the exquisite crown for Miss Lebanon 2024 and entrusting her with the role of an ambassador of hope. Inspired by the enduring spirit of the Lebanese culture, the ‘Cedar of Hope’ embodies resilience, unity, and unwavering optimism. This unique, bespoke work of art and craftsmanship, will be a prestigious mark of honor for the winner of Miss Lebanon competition, taking place on the 27th of July, 2024.
Designed by Robert Mouawad, the crown is a vibrant tribute to the Lebanese spirit of perseverance. The meticulous selection of red, white, and green gemstones poetically reflects the colors of the Lebanese flag. The design draws inspiration from the majestic cedar tree, a revered national emblem that has stood tall for millennia in the Lebanese landscape. “Lebanon has a long and rich history, and we are committed to crafting a crown that reflects the country's strength, beauty, and enduring hope for a brighter future. The crown will be bestowed upon the winner, who will then become an ambassador for the nation, carrying the hopes and dreams of the Lebanese people with her.” - Robert Mouawad, 3rd generation co- guardian of Mouawad.
The ‘Cedar of Hope’ is a unique expression of Mouawad’s deep admiration for the Lebanese spirit and serves as a powerful symbol of national pride, crafted with Mouawad's signature artistry and coupled with a profound admiration for the nation’s heritage.
The crown’s centerpiece, features a scrupulously crafted cedar tree which evokes strength and unwavering optimism. Upward-pointing gem-set motifs delicately surround the cedar, representing the boundless aspirations and desires of the Lebanese society.
Through the captivating language of gemstones, the crown reflects the innate power within every Lebanese – the strength to shine, inspire, and lead with unwavering determination. This collobration is a testament to the enduring spirit to overcome all challenges and obstacles. It also serves as an inspiration for the nation to persevere through challenges and the spirit to dream boldly.
