Lorraine Schwartz, a name that resonates in social media, tabloids, and the glitz of red carpet events, is a jeweler to the stars. Her work, often the focus of attention, has graced the likes of Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian (Kanye proposed to her with a 15-carat diamond ring by Lorraine Schwartz), Sofia Vergara, Blake Lively, Angelina Jolie, Chrissy Teigen, and Cardi B. Her reach extends beyond borders, as she is a trusted jeweler to Mukesh Ambani, the richest man in Asia, and his family.
Lorraine’s designs, exclusive and coveted, were a significant part of the recent four-day pre-wedding festivities, with her stunning pieces adorning bride-to-be Radhika Merchant. The soon-to-be wife of Anant Ambani was seen wearing an exquisite opal and diamond necklace, a testament to Lorraine’s unique artistry.
The bespoke high jewelry designer found her perfect client in Nita Ambani and the women of the Ambani family. They share a bond that goes beyond business. This was witnessed when the noted American jewelry designer, known for her multi-million dollar pieces, attended the opening of Nita Ambani’s dream project, the NMACC, in Mumbai.
The Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre was a lifelong dream, attended by Hollywood A-listers, business magnates, politicians, and friends. She even shared a video of the Reliance Industries matriarch in her element, performing a traditional dance, at the launch. A caption on one of her posts read, “Thank you Nita, Isha, and the entire Ambani family for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. The show is a beautiful , exhilarating , extravagant look into Indian history that brought tears to my eyes. I loved every minute of it!” Lorraine’s inclusion in such significant personal events, along with her jewels being sported at the family’s pre-wedding festivities, hints at the centibillionaire Ambani family’s trust in the Jewish queen of bling.
Lorraine Schwartz, the woman who transformed Angelina Jolie into a vision at the Oscars with a pair of emerald earrings worth $2.5 million, is a force to be reckoned with. Her designs have the power to elevate, as seen when she adorned Andra Day in $5 million worth of jewels at the Academy Awards, and Beyoncé in $6.8 million worth of Schwartz jewelry at the Grammys. Each piece, a testament to Lorraine’s artistry, has the ability to make a statement and leave a lasting impression.
The numbers may sound astronomical, but for the Reliance Industries tycoons, the sky is the limit. In the case of Radhika Merchant’s gorgeous opal necklace, the dainty yet statement-making piece made headlines owing to a glorious opal bordered by top-quality diamonds hung around a string of solitaires. It was paired with dangling square-shaped solitaires, making the hype palpable and justified. Lorraine Schwartz is truly the designer who has the hottest stars vying for her designs.
