He breaks down the details of Drake’s “Previous Engagements” and “Crown Jewel of Toronto” chains, ASAP Rocky’s favorite chain, Playboi Carti’s ruby lollipop, and his custom work for Tyler, the Creator. Alex also gets real about the business, explaining why he refuses to give celebrities free jewelry, sharing his thoughts on Tiffany & Co. today, and exposing the truth about lab-grown diamonds, joking that your lunch costs more than the stone. To wrap up, he shouts out his biggest repeat clients and plays a rapid-fire game about fashion grails and trends.

Drake 's ICEMAN  rollout is getting even colder. After breaking records with his new music, he celebrated in typical OVO fashion with a lot of diamonds. He teamed up with New York jeweler Alex Moss to create custom iced-out pendants for his inner circle. These pieces celebrate surviving a rocky year in hip-hop. The pendant features the OVO owl covered in white diamonds, but the key detail is the engraving. It reads, "The Cold War Is Over And It Made Us Even Colder." The inscription serves as a victory statement following his recent rap beefs and industry scrutiny. While the team received the classic look, Drake's personal piece stands out with ice-blue diamonds instead of clear ones. This matches the frozen theme of the ICEMAN era and his crystal-jeweled hoodies.

Rapper JP The Wavy recently worked with Takashi Murakami and to celebrate commissioned celebrity jeweler  Alex Moss  to make a custom chain and two pendants inspired by the Japanese artist's famous artwork. Takashi Murakami  created a caricature of JP The Wavy for their collaboration on the "LV MURAKAMI" collection with Louis Vuitton . JP The Wavy had it turned into a one-of-one piece by Alex Moss. The main pendant shows a character based on JP The Wavy, featuring hand-crafted details created using a microscope. The pendant has hand-painted enamel details for the eyes, nostrils, whiskers, and ears, along with a clasp inspired by Mount Fuji. The pendant and chain are adorned with colorful stones, including diamonds, sapphires, topaz, tanzanite, amethyst, rubies, tsavorite, and peridot.
