October's Top 5 Jewelry Purchases, From Tyler, the Creator’s ‘Chromakopia’ Grill to Drake’s Vintage Watches
Tyler, the Creator, Drake, and 2 Chainz were amongst the celebrities debuting new ice in October 2024. Whose was the best?
Temperatures are finally starting to dip a bit. While plenty of us are reaching for our best coats, these celebrities decided to keep things cool and cop some more ice.
This month’s highlights include an unconventional grill for Tyler, the Creator that looks like a set of real teeth, some vintage watches worn by Drake to celebrate his 38th birthday, and a watch worn on stage by 2 Chainz with an insane seven-figure price tag.
Take a closer look at the top five pieces of custom jewelry unveiled throughout October 2024, below.
5. Kim Kardashian’s ‘Skibidi Toilet’ Chain
Jeweler: N/A
Gen Z humor is weird, to say the least. “Skibidi Toilet” means something to these kids. We tried to make sense of it if you were curious. North West gifted her mom a diamond tennis necklace featuring a gold name plate engraved with the viral internet phrase for Kim K’s 44th birthday. The flip side of the plate reads “Love, North” along with “10/21/24.” Jewelry expert Olivia Landau told People that the necklace’s estimated value is between $15,000 and $20,000. That’s an expensive meme.
4. Hailey Bieber’s Chain for Her Son, Jack Blues Bieber
Jeweler: Alex Moss
Hailey Bieber’s latest addition to her jewelry collection is a sentimental one for her newborn son, Jack Blues Bieber. She hit up Alex Moss to get a diamond pendant of his initials “JBB” in bubble lettering. The piece matches her signature “B” pendant that she frequently wears. Who knows, maybe Hailey will pass the chain down to Jack Blues when he’s old enough to wear it. A custom chain from Alex Moss, not a bad heirloom.
3. 2 Chainz’s $1.7 Million Watch
Jeweler: Jacob and Co.
2 Chainz loves to indulge in the most expensivest shit. Even so, seeing him hit the stage at the BET Awards in a watch that costs $1.7 million is a crazy flex. The Royal Tourbillon Baguette is crafted out of 18k white gold and flooded with baguette diamonds on the dial, case, and bracelet. This one speaks for itself.
2. Drake’s Vintage Five Time Zones
Jeweler: Jacob and Co.
Drake celebrated his 38th birthday on October 24 by rocking not one, but two, of the most iconic watches in hip-hop history. He was spotted in Houston with a vintage Jacob and Co. Five Time Zone from 2004 on each wrist at the same time. One featured a yellow alligator strap and pave diamonds on the dial, while the other opted for an Easter-y mix of flower-shaped Mother of Pearl on the dial and a periwinkle blue alligator strap.
The “Family Matters” rapper has never been shy when it comes to flexing. Remember, this is the guy who owns a custom Chrome Hearts Rolls-Royce. Wearing two watches at once might be a bit much, but we’ll let this one slide due to the historical importance of the Five Time Zone.
1. Tyler, the Creator’s ‘Chromakopia’ Teeth
Jeweler: Gabby Elan
To our delight, Tyler, the Creator dropped a new album in October. To celebrate Chromakopia, the artist also tapped back in with Gabby Elan for a new grill. Rather than taking the traditional route and making a grill out of gold or flooding it with diamonds, the “Noid” rapper made.. his newest set actually look like real teeth by painting the enamel off white. According to Elan Pinhasov of Gabby Elan, they were initially pure white, but Tyler insisted on making them look more realistic with subtle yellowing and even included his tooth gap. There are still gemstones: tiny rubies, white diamonds, yellow diamonds, and paraiba tourmalines are set at the center of each tooth. The finished product is one of the most creative approaches to a grill that we have ever seen.
