Lynn Ban, Jewelry Designer and Reality TV Star, Dies After Aspen Skiing Accident

Lynn Ban, celebrated jewelry designer and star of Netflix’s Bling Empire: New York, passed away on January 20 from complications after a skiing accident. The 50-year-old caught her front ski tip and fell on Christmas Eve in Aspen, Colorado, landing face-first. Although she initially felt fine and even skied rest of the way down, a precautionary hospital visit revealed a brain bleed that required emergency surgery. Weeks later, Ban succumbed to the injury, leaving behind her husband, Jett, and son, Sebastian.

Known for her bold designs worn by icons like Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Beyoncé, Ban was a creative force in the fashion world. Her magnetic personality and fearless style captivated fans during her time on Bling Empire and through her striking jewelry designs. Born in Singapore and based in New York City, Ban’s legacy reflects a life of passion, artistry, and innovation.

Her passing highlights the dangers of head injuries, even those that seem minor. Head injuries should always be treated seriously.

Tributes continue to pour in, honoring Ban’s creativity, humor, and indomitable spirit. She will be remembered as an artist who lived boldly and inspired many. Rest in peace, Lynn.
