Some of August’s Biggest Jewelry Purchases Like Nicki Minaj’s “Queen Sleeze” Chain and Kid Cudi’s Colorful Grills

Jeweler: Gabby Elan

Kid Cudi is the latest star to hit up Gabby Elan for some grills. As you may expect, Cudi didn’t opt for a classic set of gold or diamond fronts. He let the Pinhasov family get creative. Elan, one-half of the father-son duo behind Gabby Elan, provided some details on the unique set. The upper left side features a Marquise shape paraiba tourmaline from Brazil surrounded by diamonds, a tooth featuring pavé-set pink sapphires, and a gold open frame. Below it is a three-piece set that reads “CUD” in diamonds. The other side features a Marquise shape opal surrounded by diamonds and a neon-colored rocket ship with hand-painted flowers on the bottom three teeth. The price is unknown. If you’re looking for grills you can assure nobody else will have, you better hit up Gabby Elan.

Jeweler: Benny the Jeweler

Nicki Minaj has been all over our social media timelines since becoming a playable character in the current Call of Duty video game earlier this month. But the legendary rapper also decided to get some new ice in August. She hit up New York City jeweler Benny the Jeweler for a new chain inspired by one of her alter egos and 2023 single “Red Ruby Da Sleeze.” “Queen Sleeze” is written out in a cursive font flooded with VVS diamonds. A pink diamond heart topped with a crown sits above the words. The chain hangs from a heart-linked emerald chain. Benny the Jeweler is also the jeweler behind Ice Spice’s recognizable custom chains. We wonder if the young rapper referred to her “Barbie World” songmate.

Jeweler: Leo Khusro

Leo Khusro isn’t just the go-to jewelry for some of today’s biggest NFL superstars. Some of the biggest football players in the world also hit up the young, Houston-based jeweler. One of the most recent examples is this Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr. to honor the legend Ronaldo. A diamond “7” pendant represents the jersey number worn by Ronaldo and Vinicius Jr. On the back is an all-over laser engraving of Ronaldo’s silhouette performing his signature “Siu” celebration. It hangs from a prong-set diamond chain. According to Khusro, the pendant is made of 18-carat white gold and flooded with VS1 diamonds. Khusro wasn’t lying when he told Complex that he’s “your favorite athlete’s favorite jeweler.”

Jeweler: Alex Moss

Alex Moss has cooked up more custom pieces for “Opium” singer Ken Carson. This time, the New York City–based jeweler crafted a “Chaos” spiked bracelet and skull ring. The bracelet is made of 14-carat gold and covered in 66.8 carats worth of black diamonds around the band and white diamonds on each spike. The skull ring is made of 14-carat white gold, 15.3 carats of white diamonds, and two Burmese rubies for eyes. Alex Moss once again proves why he’s one of the best jewelers in the game today.

Jeweler: Eliantte

Chief Keef decided to hit up Eliantte for some new pieces. The highlight was this lighter holder covered in as many colorful stones as Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet. The gold lighter holder is covered in diamonds and features blue, pink, and yellow stones throughout. It hangs from a beaded diamond chain. When people say, “Shoulda went to Elliot,” pieces like this are the reason why.
