One-Of-A-Kind Convertible Pin & Pendant Heart

This extraordinary piece of jewelry, a one-of-one Human Made heart, is far more than a custom commission. It is a tribute to one of the most important creative friendships of the past three decades: Pharrell and NIGO. Designed exclusively by Jacob & Co. for this auction, the piece carries the full history of how these three cultural innovators became intertwined, and how their influence has shaped fashion, music, and modern style across the world.

Jacob was, in fact, the person who introduced Pharrell and NIGO — a meeting that would become foundational for both artists. In the late ’90s and early 2000s, NIGO was already commissioning Jacob to create custom pieces inspired by Pharrell’s bold jewelry, long before the two men had ever met. Seeing the synchronicity in their taste, energy, and ambition, Jacob arranged an introduction. The effect was instantaneous: Pharrell and NIGO became fast friends and collaborators.

Their partnership would go on to influence global culture in profound ways — from launching Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream, to helping bring BAPE to the United States, to making music, supporting one another’s ventures, and setting the tone for streetwear and luxury long before the industries were ready to merge. Their friendship is now legendary: a creative alliance built on trust, shared aesthetics, and mutual inspiration.

This jewel, created specifically for the auction, is a celebration of that bond.

Crafted in 18K white gold and weighing 229.3 grams, the Human Made heart is pavé-set with an extraordinary 41.01 carats of white diamonds and 49.48 carats of vivid rubies, forming the iconic motif synonymous with NIGO’s Human Made universe. In a brilliant stroke of design, the piece can be worn either as a pendant or as a brooch, capturing Jacob’s longstanding talent for making jewelry not only beautiful, but ingeniously functional.

The result is a piece that is at once playful, monumental, and deeply meaningful, a sparkling emblem of friendship, legacy, and creative exchange. It connects the early days of Pharrell and NIGO’s rise with the present moment, where their cultural impact is felt across fashion, music, art, and design. It also stands as a testament to Jacob’s unique role as both jeweler and connector — the person who saw their synergy before the world did.

A true one-of-one, this Human Made heart represents a story — of friendship, influence, and the enduring creative bond that helped shape an era.
