A crown jewel was added to the top of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree Tuesday.

A 550-pound Swarovski crystal star was hoisted to the top of the tree.

The star features 25,000 crystals and measures nearly 10 feet in diameter.

The tree will now be decorated with thousands of colored lights before its annual tree lighting ceremony scheduled for December 3.
