Expensive custom pendants and diamond teeth may not be something that most of us can justify spending money on. But that doesn’t mean that it isn’t still entertaining to see creative things being cooked up by some of the most renowned jewelers in the world for our favorite celebrities on a weekly basis. And this month was no exception.
Drake spent nearly $2 million on one of Frank Ocean’s creations, Gunna continued the “Pushin P” movement, and Nigo connected with an old friend to celebrate his new album. Check out more of the biggest celebrity jewelry purchases from March below.
Drake's $1.9 Million Homer Necklace
Jeweler: Homer
One of the craziest pieces of jewelry we saw this month came courtesy of Frank Ocean’s Homer. A $1.9 million necklace from the luxury jewelry brand dubbed the “Sphere Legs High Jewelry Necklace” was worn by Drake. The one-of-one piece is Homer’s most expensive offering. It features 18-karat white gold pavé-linked orbs and 9,226 lab-grown VVS clarity diamonds. The rap superstar provided a closer look at the giant pendant on Instagram. He also showed off his new purchase sitting courtside at a matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and Toronto Raptors at Scotiabank Arena. Some may remember the chain first being worn by Frank Ocean at the 2021 Met Gala, but it looks like the singer was willing to part with the rare piece for the right price.
Jeweler: Angel City Jewelers
Gunna’s “P” movement has been going strong ever since the release of DS4 this past January. Of course, there is the Future and Young Thug-assisted hit “Pushin P” that appears on the album, but Gunna has made sure to take full advantage of the viral moment. We’ve seen apparel collabs with Palm Angels, “P” tattoos, and Gunna has even worn a jacket with a giant “P” protruding from his back. Given the rapper’s penchant for flashy jewelry, it was only a matter of time before he added some “P” diamonds to his collection. He didn’t just decide to toss the blue emoji on a chain though. He actually got a P-shaped blue diamond implanted in his tooth. The precious stone was provided by Angel City Jewelers’ Isaac Bokhoor and installed by dentist Thomas Connelly. The special procedure reportedly cost around $100,000. Gunna didn’t stop there. He also got a removable two-tooth grill displaying the signature “P” emoji from Gabby Elan as well.
Nigo and Steven Victor's Duck Pendants
Jeweler: Jacob and Co.
To celebrate his new album I Know Nigo that was released in early March, Nigo made sure to hit up his favorite jeweler for some new pieces. The streetwear legend commissioned two iced-out ducks from Jacob and Co. made in the same style as characters from Nigo’s Human Made line. One made for Steven Victor sports a blue head and gold chain, while Nigo’s is a green-headed duck wearing a crown. The waterfowls are also illustrated on the cover of the album. Nigo’s celebration with Jacob and Co. didn’t stop with some new chains, though. He also joined Lil Uzi Vert and ASAP Rocky in the company’s Fifth Avenue showroom to shoot the official video for one of the album standout cuts, “Heavy.” Nigo and Jacob the Jeweler have been creating iconic jewelry together for decades. It was only right that they joined forces once again for the occasion.
Key Glock's Young Dolph Tribute
Jeweler: Eliantte and Co.
Key Glock decided to honor his cousin Young Dolph, who was tragically shot and killed this past November in Memphis, with one of his latest jewelry purchases. The custom necklace from Eliantte features a giant dolphin pendant made of blue diamonds to represent the rapper. The chain is composed of blue and platinum diamond infinity links with hearts throughout. This isn’t Key Glock’s first tribute piece for Young Dolph, either. Back in January, he showed off an iced-out Jesus piece in similar colors that was also created by Eliantte. “I went and got some blue diamonds to let em know you still around,” he tweeted.
Jeweler: Eliantte and Co.
Demetrius Flenory Jr. (a.k.a. Lil Meech) recently got a new chain from Eliantte of a flooded out Black Mafia Family logo. In the post showing off the new piece, Eliantte calls it the “Most Iconic BMF Chain Ever Made.” A clip also surfaced on Instagram of 50 Cent trying on the chain. The rap veteran was quick to give advice to the young actor whenever he decides to rock the giant chain. “Don’t be walking around with this shit by yourself,” he says. 50 Cent is the executive producer of the BMF television series that documents the history of Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory and the rise of their BMF empire. Lil Meech portrays his father in the show.
