Famous Rapper Jewelry Hits Charity Auction

hhcjlead.jpg
If you’ve ever wanted to shine like one of your favorite rap artists, without robbing them for their chains here’s your chance. Esteemed auction house Phillips de Pury & Company is holding the first ever live bidding-war for hip-hop’s most blinged-out pieces on October 1st.

In consultation with Minya Oh (a.k.a. Miss Info), the auction will be putting 70 pieces on the block in an effort to raise in $3 million. The event, dubbed “Hip Hop’s Crown Jewels” will benefit three non-profit organizations under Russell Simmons‘ charity Rush Community Affairs. It will be open to the public (you’ll need tickets) and everyone will get a chance to try the pieces on in person. The signature bling being auctioned off used to grace hip-hop icons like MC Lyte, Biz Markie, Slick Rick, and modern-day flossers like Pharrell, Diddy, and 50 Cent. See which pieces will be available below.
