Lynn Ban, the celebrated jewelry designer and star of 'Bling Empire: New York,' passed away at the age of 51, roughly a month after undergoing a surgery to address a brain bleed due to a skiing accident.

AceShowbiz - The jewelry world and fans of Netflix's "Bling Empire: New York" are mourning the loss of Lynn Ban, who died on Monday, January 20 following complications from a brain bleed after a skiing accident in Aspen, Colorado.

Lynn Ban was renowned for her eponymous jewelry line, which adorned some of the biggest names in the music and entertainment industries, including Rihanna, Beyonce Knowles, Cardi B, and Billie Eilish.

On Christmas Eve, Ban experienced a traumatic fall while skiing, initially believing it to be minor. Although ski patrol cleared her for a concussion, a persistent headache led a paramedic to suggest a hospital visit. There, doctors discovered a brain bleed. She was airlifted to a trauma hospital and underwent an emergency craniotomy.

Ban's son, Sebastian, honored her legacy by sharing family photos and conveying how much she meant to him and those who knew her. "She always had a smile on her face even when times were tough during her recovery process. She was a fighter until the end and is the strongest woman I know," he wrote.

Notable figures like Rihanna and Kali Uchis expressed grief and condolences under Sebastian's post, underscoring the profound impact Lynn Ban had on her friends and collaborators.

The Singaporean native was a force in the fashion industry, known for her distinctive designs that mixed precious stones with oxidized metals. Her pieces were featured in high-profile fashion publications like Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and W Magazine. One of Ban's most memorable creations includes the claw armor ring for Rihanna's photoshoot.

"This is too much!!! Lynn you will always be our fairy godmother!" Rihanna wrote.

Ban is survived by her husband and business partner, Jett Kain, and their son, Sebastian. Her family plans to honor her memory by continuing to celebrate her life and legacy. As Ban's son poignantly wrote, "Although she may be gone now, I will do everything I can to make sure she is never forgotten and for her life to be celebrated as it deserves to be."
