A celebrity jeweler who has worked with stars like Ice Spice, Nicki Minaj and Usher was held at gunpoint and robbed of an estimated $1 million in jewelry in Manhattan’s Diamond District overnight Thursday, police and sources said.
Benny Nisanov, who operates under the name “Benny Da Jeweler,” was held up at his pop-up shop on West 47th Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenue, by two men who broke in around 1:30 a.m. carrying firearms and threatening to shoot, police sources said.
The robbers looted multiple pieces of jewelry from a display case that totaled an estimated $1 million before running out and into a black sedan, cops and police sources said.
The getaway car, possibly a Mercedes, was last seen heading west, police said.
Bling from “Benny “Jewels by Benny” have been seen on music industry bigs and rappers such as Sean “Diddy” Combs, Mary J. Blige, Pop Smoke and Lil Tjay, according to Nisanov’s business website.
The A-list jeweler’s Instagram account also features a wide array of stars donning his wares, including Ice Spice, Usher and Nicki Minaj.
It’s unclear what was taken in the heist.
Nisanov, 37, was spotted at the World’s Largest Jewelry Exchange commiserating with pals on Thursday afternoon, but did not want to comment.
“He has a lot of celebrity clients,” one neighboring bling salesman told The Post, adding that Nisanov is “a family man.”
Nisanov, also did not return messages sent to him and his business.
Police did not provide information on any suspects Thursday.
