Lorraine Schwartz is simply unbelievable . I first met Lorraine about 12 years ago, with her larger than life personality and exhuberent charm, she could win over a cold dead fish if she had to. She's non-stop. Probably one of the hardest working women in business I know. I must say, if it weren't for Lorraine, our business may have never launched into large diamonds. At the time, she partnered a large diamond house, took us under her wing and taught us not to be afraid to stretch our comfort zone. She practiced what she preached, and today, she is perhaps the top celebrity jeweler in the country. Featured on every red carpet, at every Hollywood event, she delivers stunning jewels of unprecedented caliber. No one matches her in taste. No one matches her in style. She's out there.. she reaches for it, and she brings it home! Not only is she brilliant, she is truly one of the kindest, most generous and lovable persons I am blessed to know and call my friend!! You go girl! xxo Yellow and sliced diamond snake cuff ~ amazing
JAR. The Houdini of jewelry, recluse and elusive, Joel Arthur Rosenthal has made an indelible mark with his creative genius. His Parisian boutique off Place Vendome has no windows, no store hours, no phone number. Just a door. "Everything conspires to make you bigger and more public," he says. "My instinct and my radar, my selfishness and arrogance and above all the passion for happiness told me to stay small, stay silent, do what you want to do, don't be seduced, don't be enticed, just get on with it the way you think it should be done." And so it is with JAR. His intricate craftsmanship mixed with a limited availability has thrown his pieces into high demand. His coffee table books sell for $3,500 - $5,000, his parfum upwards of $400 per ounce, and his exquisite art jewelry rakes in a cool 6 figures per piece. That is of course, if you can find it ;)
