Hip Hop’s Crown Jewellery

I’m not one for wearing any bling whatsoever, let alone something as extravagant as hip hop artist’s often parade.

However, I love these following items as little expensive and visually stunning sculptures. They’re for an upcoming auction titled Hip Hop’s Crown Jewels which aims to raise funds for Russell Simmons’ Rush Community Affiairs.

The collection features numerous memorable and important pieces. The artists with pieces involved include Jay-Z, Notorious B.I.G., Alicia Keys, 50 Cent, Cam’ron, Diddy, Eminem, Kanye West, LL Cool J, Pharrell, Nas, Slick Rick and Tupac;

Within the collection are sub-themes such as “The Golden Era of Hip-Hop”, East and West Coast Rivalries: Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur, and Bling Bling and Global Domination.

If you’re interested in the auction(!) on the 1st October or an exhibition in the week before, check out Hypebeast.
