The crowns by George Wittels, which are coveted by beauty queens.
There’s jewelry and jewelry. There is, for example, also who is specialized in crowns for Miss. The king which crowning the queens of beauty pageants is an Austrian who moved to Venezuela when he was eight. His name is George Wittels and each November 3rd in his jewelry store commemorates the birth of Benvenuto Cellini, master of all the goldsmiths in the world. George Wittels, however, is goldsmith by chance. He studied engineering, but then he also spent some time in New York, where he attended the courses of the GIA. Become an expert gemologist, he returned to Venezuela, where the family had a cloth shop in Maracaibo. Again by chance, in 1999 he was contacted to create a jewel for a contestant to Miss Venezuela, who later won. From that moment he began to create the crowns for the queens of the competition and, given the success, he was called to carry tiaras and crowns for other events in South America, but also in the US and Europe, for example in Latvia or Slovakia. The crowns are large, baroque, twisted, but luckily over the years are more slight. The poor queens 20 years ago wore on his head a glittering blaze from 1 kilogram and a half. Today, the weight is less, because next to George Wittels stones uses Swarovski crystals, which replace in particular the diamonds. Lavinia Andorno
