Have you ever wanted to bling out like Diddy or 50 (Fiddy)? Nostalgic for a little Run DMC heavy rope chains to jangle a tune to? Has one of your life’s desires been to own a piece of the hip hop dynasty? If so, get your paddle out and be prepared to bid with the best of them for pieces of the iconic jewels up for auction on October 1, by Phillips de Pury & Company for hip hop’s finest. Imagine a little Kanye around your neck, or a little 50 Cent ice lighting your wrist. Perhaps your tastes harks back to a more refined time and you paddle up for a little Tupac on your ear or Biggie on your knuckles. But like the man himself, if major bling and ice are your thing, do bid on Diddy’s princess and baguette cut diamond and platinum bracelet or be N.E.R.D. cool and snatch up Pharrell’s Gucci link necklace dipped in multicolored pave diamonds. Funky fresh!
And in case securing your favorite rapper’s jewels are not enough incentive to bid, the auction’s proceeds will benefit the following three foundations: Russell Simmon’s Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation, which provides disadvantaged youth with access to art; the Hip Hop Summit Action Network, which preserves the cultural relevance of Hip-Hop music to serve as a catalyst for education advocacy; and the Diamond Empowerment Fund, established to raise money for the development and empowerment of the people and communities in Africa where diamonds are a natural resource.
