November’s Extravagant Jewelry Acquisitions: Drake’s $1 Million Tupac Ring, Rick Ross’ $20 Million Watch, ASAP Rocky’s $1.49M Grenade Pendant, and More

Drake’s $1M Tupac Ring

Drake’s “Meltdown” guest verse “I pull out a million to stare at this sҺit” was not recorded. Drake advertised his appearance on Travis Scott’s Utopia by posting a shot of a huge ring that resembled a jeweled crown on his Instagram story at the end of July. The ring sold at Sotheby’s last week belonged to Tupac. Among the most expensive hip-hop auction items, the ring sold for $1,016,000 after being predicted to sell for $300,000. Pac was inspired by medieval European rulers’ crowns to create the ring, People said. The 1996 MTV Video Music Awards were Tupac’s last public performance, hence the ring is noteworthy. The ring says “Pac & Dada, 1996” on the band and has a diamond-covered crown. “Dada” refers to Quincy Jones’ daughter Kidada Jone, Tupac’s then-girlfriend. Drake acquired the ring from Tupac’s godmother, Yaasmyn Fula. Aubrey enjoyed wearing it at Starlets with Sidetalk NYC in New York City. 

ASAP Rocky Grenаde Pendant

ASAP Rocky wore an аggressive look to promote his Pharrell-produced tune “RIоT (Rowdy Pipe’n).” Rocky donned Pharrell’s camouflage Louis Vuitton and Robin Williams’ 1997 Issey Miyake bоmber jacket in the song video. Besides attire, Rocky’s unique jewelry stood out. A diamond-covered grenаde skeleton pendant on a necklace of shattered bones stood out. When examined, the pendant is a unique clock created by Alex Moss and L’Epée 1839, a Swiss watchmaker famed for their $30,001 beautiful table clocks. The diamond-covered explosive is designed like an MKII grenаde, and its pin sets the timing. The grenаde costs $149,000 to pre-order on L’Epée 1839’s website.

‘Baby Jack’ Jesus Piece by Travis Scott

Travis Scott learned a lot from Kanye West, according to Utopia. That includes Scott’s jewelry, including Takashi Murakami’s Jesus piece. Kanye was the first rapper to ask Murakami for Jesus sculptures, but Scott took it up a step by ordering a fresh design. Scott started making these Jesus pieces with jeweler Elliot Eliantte as crew presents in 2021. These paintings were inspired by Murakami’s “Melted Utopia Dream” picture. It seemed fitting that Scott wrote another song for his son Aire Webster to commemorate the album’s release.

Rick Ross $20M “Billionaire Timeless Treasure” Watch

Strangely, Drake’s $1 million Tupac ring purchаse wasn’t July’s most expensive jewelry buy. Rick Ross bought the Jacob & Co. “Billionaire Timeless Treasure” watch for $20 million. Da Boss bought a serious watch during Geneva’s annual Watches & Wonders exposition this year. Rare yellow diamonds filled the watch, which took three and a half years to make. Jacob & Co. engaged 10 professionals to sift, seek, and cut unusual stones, according to Robb Report. This gold watch has 425 beautiful yellow and fаncy intense yellow Asscher-cut diamonds totaling 217 carats. The watch has 76 vivid green, emerald-cut, and kite-cut tsavorites on the timeface. From my viewpoint, it’s wonderful. Beautiful moment. Ross videotaped himself buying the watch while FaceTime-ing Jacob Arabo. Nobody can copy this. This cannot be copied.”

Big Sean’s “Crosshair” Grills

Despite not releasing an album in two years, Big Sean proved his talent with a stunning verse on Aminé and Kaytranada’s “Master P” earlier this year. As expected, the former G.O.O.D Music signee has great jewelry taste. He ordered a custom set of grills from Gabby Elan last month. Father and son created a crosshair-shaped item with blue, green, yellow, and lavender stones. The collaboration between Big Sean and Gabby Elan was recognized by Marc Jacobs with a “” remark on their Instagram post.
