In the early 2000s, Jacob became synonymous with an entirely new form of wearable art: hyper-custom belt buckles crafted in precious metals and stones. His collaborations with NIGO & Pharrell, including the now-iconic N.E.R.D. buckles, set a benchmark for craftsmanship, scale, and cultural impact — merging high jewelry with streetwear in a way that felt revolutionary at the time. This era established Jacob’s reputation for engineering ambitious, sculptural pieces that retained perfect functionality.


Created in 2008, this 18K white gold “Jacob & Co.” logo buckle represents the pinnacle of that craftsmanship. The surface is set with an extraordinary 17.35 carats of invisible-set baguette-cut diamonds, a technique that demands extreme precision, allowing the stones to form a seamless, continuous field of brilliance without visible metal. Weighing 66.1 grams, the buckle has the substantial presence and architectural clarity that defined Jacob’s most celebrated custom works.


Bold, meticulously constructed, and deeply rooted in the shared creative history between Jacob, Pharrell, and the early street-luxury movement, this buckle stands as a rare artifact of a formative moment when jewelry, fashion, and music converged to redefine modern style.
