Some of June’s Biggest Jewelry Purchases Like Rihanna’s $700,000 Watch Choker, Lil Uzi Vert’s ‘Pink Tape’ Flash Drive, and More

Jeweler: Jacob and Co.

Flava Flav has been rocking giant clocks around his neck for decades, but Rihanna is the first person to ever rock a watch choker. She stepped out to the Louis Vuitton Men’s Spring/Summer 2024 show in Paris rocking the Jacob and Co. creation. The $700,000 black crocodile leather choker features a 47-mm white gold Brilliant Flying Tourbillon set with 368 diamonds. Few people could pull something like this off. Of course, Rihanna did easily.

Jeweler: Eliantte

Before June came to a close, Lil Uzi Vert finally released their long-anticipated album Pink Tape. We have all likely ran through the tracklist a few times by now. But before the drop, Uzi went to extreme measures to make sure nobody could leak the project. They wore the flash drive that stored the album around their neck. But we aren’t talking about some flash drive that you can go buy at Staples. They took it to Eliantte to cover it with pink diamonds. An upside-down diamond cross and diamond clasp completed the one-of-a-kind piece. This one isn't quite as insane as the multi-million dollar pink diamond they implanted into their forehead a few years ago, but we should always expect Uzi to show out when it comes to custom jewels.

Jeweler: Icebox

TI’s Trap Music Museum in Atlanta hit up the city’s go-to jeweler, Icebox, to craft a special ring for its latest Trapper of the Year. This year's honors were given to Future. The ring is modeled similarly to a sports championship ring. Future’s Freebandz logo in red enamel is surrounded by red rubies on the face of the ring. More rubies are used to write out “FBG” on one side of the band, while the other sides display “Future” spelled out in rose gold and the official Trap Music Museum logo. The most unique feature is that the face of the ring can be flipped open to reveal a spinning model of Pluto surrounded by black and yellow diamonds to make it look like its in outer space. "Out of this world" is the only way to describe this one-of-one piece. 

Jeweler: Gabby Elan

Savannah James decided to follow in her husband’s footsteps and hit up Gabby Elan for a custom grill of her own. The main design covers two top teeth. VVS+ hearts and arrow cut diamonds have been arranged in 14kt rose gold to recreate the Virgo constellation (Savannah’s birthday is August 27). Along with the zodiac-inspired design, there is also a diamond-encrusted spacer meant to be worn between two teeth on the opposite side of her mouth. Yet another innovative approach to grills from the Gabby Elan family.
