Celeb jeweler honored

THERE’S more to Lorraine Schwartz than bling. The celeb jeweler and Kardashian go-to designer for diamonds was honored at the American Friends of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra’s New York gala for her commitment to their mission to use the arts to build bridges across diverse communities in Israel. “Being Jewish, and being born in America and raised for a few years in Israel, [their mission] is really close to my heart,” Schwartz told Page Six. “Music is the universal language, and there’s no better way to bridge the gap . . . I’m a strong believer in that,” she added. Yousef Al Otaiba, ambassador of the United Arab Emirates to the US, presented Schwartz with the award via video. Model Bar Refaeli, who lives in Israel with her family, hosted the event but was unable to attend in person due to COVID-19 restrictions, we’re told. Schwartz’s pal Barbra Streisand sent an audio tribute praising Schwartz as “another Jewish girl who made it and didn’t change her name.” Schwartz then celebrated her special night with a party downtown at Casa Cipriani following the gala. Tamir Grinberg, winner of Israeli TV competition “Rising Star,” performed at the gala and the party.
