Behind every successful man is a woman, and behind every bedazzled billionaire is celebrity jeweler Lorraine Schwartz. This renowned jewelry designer adds an unmistakable touch of glitz and glamor to world-famous celebrities like Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, and Lauren Sanchez. She is also the mastermind behind some of the most talked-about jewels seen at the magnum opus wedding of Anant Ambani, son of Asia’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, to Radhika Merchant.
As the trusted jeweler for the Ambani family, Schwartz crafted a range of gem and diamond-studded creations for the fashionable clan, worth $121 billion. Among these stellar pieces, the one that shone brightest during the pre-wedding festivities in Jamnagar, Gujarat, was the ‘Lion Brooch.’ This glittering piece paid homage to Anant’s love for animals and his personal zoo, ‘Vantara,’ which is four times the size of New York’s Central Park and serves as a sanctuary for thousands of rescued animals. The lion in the brooch is adorned with glorious yellow diamonds, pavé-set to perfection. The mane and tail feature larger, prong-set pear-shaped yellow diamonds, while two marquise emeralds stand out as eyes. The pièce de résistance is the large dangling oval diamond that hangs from the mouth of the majestic beast.
Schwartz’s unmatched designs and exquisite craftsmanship were on full display at the wedding nuptials of Anant and Radhika Merchant, held on July 12th in Mumbai. The bespoke high-jewelry designer, a friend of the affluent Ambani family, attended the grand celebrations alongside A-listers Kim and Khloe Kardashian. There is no doubt that the queen of bling was surrounded by many of her own creations at the lavish events.
