The Infamous Glove


Crafted by? Beyonce's longtime jeweler, Lorraine Schwartz.
Made of? Titanium!
Known as? Roboglove or The Gling
Other key facts on The Gling:
  • Schwartz had her artisans working day and night on the piece, laboring 24 hours a day until it was complete.
  • It fits literally like a glove. Beyonce's entire upper arm was cast in wax so that the titanium piece would wrap perfectly.
  • It's actually several pieces, including a ring, a glove and a separate component that covers the upper arm. It can be worn all together or separately.
  • It looks heavier than it is. Titanium is about 45 percent lighter than steel.
  • The glove was Beyonce's concept all the way, I am told--a "superpower" hand to complement the singer's new Sasha Fierce ego.
