Transcript

00:00 Hello VIP scene enthusiasts.

00:02 I'm Travis Cronin here at Us Weekly Magazine and you're tuned in to the VIP scene.

00:06 The show where we teach you how to live, dine, and shop like your favorite celebs.

00:15 This week we are getting bling, bling, and talking about the biggest bling bling in Hollywood

00:20 and all the jewelers that A-listers adore.

00:23 First up, Lorraine Schwartz.

00:26 Lorraine has always been original, taking inspiration from architecture with an eye

00:30 for the extraordinary.

00:32 You've probably been entranced by her pieces, even though she's not quite a household

00:36 name yet.

00:37 Beyonce, Blake Lively, and Rihanna are constant wearers of this New York-based jeweler who

00:42 operates out of a small office in the back of Park Avenue.

00:46 Next up, Jacob the Jeweler.

00:48 No one's name has been dropped more in rap songs than Jacob the Jeweler.

00:53 Jacob Arobo opened his own jewelry store in 1986, which quickly gained the reputation

00:58 for its exquisite designs and attention to detail.

01:02 He has quite a unique style and creativity that has caught the eye of celebrities like

01:06 Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, and Jay-Z, who all became loyal customers and helped catapult

01:12 Jacob the Jeweler to fame.

01:14 He is known for his giant-faced watches, diamond gloves, loved by Madonna, and use of different

01:21 colored stones that have been loved by the likes of Cardi B and Drake.

01:26 Next up, we have the biggest name in the business, Harry Winston.

01:30 Now he isn't only the biggest name because he's the best, but his jewelry has been rocked

01:35 by everyone from Natalie Portman to Jennifer Lopez and Charlize Theron.

01:41 His pieces have a signature of timeless elegance, which is why Gwyneth Paltrow paired his iconic

01:46 wreath necklace to the 1999 Oscars.

01:50 You can't be an A-list celebrity with an engagement ring unless you own a Harry Winstone

01:54 from Harry Winston.

01:56 Next up, Bulgari.

01:58 Known for their serpentine necklaces, bracelets, and watches, this brand is loved by Zendaya,

02:04 Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Anne Hathaway.

02:08 Now in the gold area of Hollywood, blockbuster movies were often filmed in Rome, which led

02:12 the starlets of the time to be dripping in jewels from Bulgari on major carpets throughout

02:18 the 50s and 60s.

02:19 The most notable celeb wearer was Elizabeth Taylor, who started wearing their pieces in

02:24 the early 60s when she played Cleopatra.

02:27 So if you see a snake and it is covered in diamonds, that is most likely Bulgari.

02:32 And that's it for this week's VIP scene, Hollywood bling bling edition.

02:37 Please let us know if you're going to cop any of these diamonds down in the comments.
