Diamond Jesus Head Pendant

Few designs in hip-hop jewelry carry as much cultural weight as the Jesus Piece. Introduced in the 1990s and embraced by artists who shaped the visual language of the genre, it became a symbol of both faith and identity — a statement of personal meaning rendered in precious materials. By the early 2000s, the style had evolved into a cornerstone of custom jewelry culture, with artists commissioning increasingly intricate versions that blended spiritual iconography with the craftsmanship and swagger of the era.

This 14K yellow gold Jesus head pendant, owned by Pharrell, reflects that lineage, while showcasing Jacob's elevated execution. Pavé-set with 3.72 carats of round brilliant-cut diamonds — totaling 220 stones in VS clarity — the piece marries tradition with refinement, its sculpted form illuminated across every contour. Suspended from a 24-inch, 4mm gold chain, the pendant weighs 48.6 grams, giving it the substantial presence characteristic of the early custom pieces that helped define hip-hop’s aesthetic.

Rooted in one of the most enduring motifs in jewelry history, this pendant embodies the intersection of spirituality, culture, and craftsmanship that made the Jesus Piece an icon.
