8 Times Lorraine Schwartz Jewellery Stole the Show
From the red carpet to the after parties, diamond jewellery by Lorraine Schwartz commanded attention.
Lorraine Schwartz is more than a designer to the high-profile devotees that wear her jewellery—she’s a trusted collaborator whose creations are integral to a star’s special and memorable moments. The 2022 Oscars were no exception; Lorraine Schwartz jewellery was seen on everyone from Beyoncé to Diddy were a testament to the bonds she has built throughout her career.

When Lorraine isn’t outfitting stars for the red carpet in her natural diamond pieces, she’s guiding the next generation of jewellery designers. In 2021, Lorraine and the Natural Diamond Council launched the Emerging Designers Diamond Initiative, a year-long program created to remove barriers to entry in the jewellery industry, offering unparalleled access to industry education and resources to Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) jewellery designers.
The 2022 Oscars marked the official return to Hollywood glamour, and when it came to the jewellery, Lorraine Schwartz’s diamonds spoke for themselves with these eight looks.
1. Beyoncé
All eyes are always on Beyoncé, especially inside the Dolby Theater on Oscar night. Beyoncé—who performed her Oscar-nominated song from King Richard called “Be Alive”—opened the show wearing Lorraine Schwartz bangles and rings. During her performance, she wore several Lorraine Schwartz jewellery pieces, including 150 carats of white diamonds set in her bangles, a 50 carat emerald cut diamond ring and a 20 carat cushion diamond ring. The diamond look of the evening, however, belonged to the 150 carat, custom-made diamond earrings she wore while enjoying the show. Only the best for the Queen.
2. Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker
Travis Barker turned to Lorraine Schwartz jewellery designs to help create the engagement ring he gave Kourtney Kardashian last year, so it’s only fitting that the couple made their Oscar debut as a duo wearing jewellery from the designer. On the red carpet, Kourtney wore black jade and white diamond angel wing earrings while Travis sported a white diamond brooch.
