Kapanlagi.com - Ivan Gunawan is ready to hold Miss Mega Bintang Indonesia 2024. In early May, he will start the competition with fifty finalists from fifteen regions in Indonesia.
Interestingly, the crown that will be obtained by the first winner has undergone changes. No longer named Golden Wisdom, but the new crown is named Gayatri.
"The previous crown, Golden Wisdom, will no longer be used. There is a new crown named Gayatri. A name that is very Indonesian and has good philosophy," said Ivan in a press conference in the Harmoni area, Central Jakarta, Monday (15/4/2024).

Ivan Gunawan said that the Gayatri crown was made by a man from Venezuela named George. This man has worked on crowns for many beauty pageants around the world.
"This crown was designed by Mr. George from Venezuela. He is indeed the best crown maker, those international pageants have crowns designed by George. We designed it virtually because George is in Venezuela while I am in Indonesia. So we worked using WhatsApp. After it was finished, it was sent to Indonesia," said Ivan.
2. Using Simulated Diamond
Furthermore, Ivan Gunawan said that the Gayatri crown, inspired by the Sawunggaling motif, uses simulated diamonds. The price paid to make it may not be in the billions, but its significance is more than that.
"This crown is not made of diamonds, but simulated diamonds. It doesn't cost billions, but it is worth more than just a number. It has great value because when my children compete internationally, they will use this crown," said the famous designer.
