Zoe Acevedo had her necklace stolen during the incident last Thursday on East 176th Street.
Kerri Lavine, also known as the godmother of diamonds, saw Zoe's story and wanted to do something to help.
"I called them up on Sunday and said we have to do something," Lavine said.
She said she was heartbroken to hear what happened to Zoe while she walked to school.
Police are still looking for the man who approached the middle schooler and snatched her chain.
It was a necklace that Zoe only wore on special occasions and was a gift from her family.
That is when Lavine called a friend with an idea.
"I said, let's reach Kemberly to see if I could do this," she said.
She got right to work with her team at Diamanti NYC in Midtown, and in just two days, made a beautiful necklace.
"I want to make her feel special because what happened to her was terrible and to have a traumatic thing happen when you are a young girl, that will stay with her forever," Lavine said.
She said that she even hopes one day to make her an engagement ring.
