In the early 2000s, Pharrell and Jacob ignited a new frontier in custom jewelry by transforming everyday objects into opulent, fully functional works of wearable art. What began as a playful creative exchange evolved into a defining design language that blended luxury, ingenuity, and cultural expression. This rare diamond- and gold-crafted bow tie extends that lineage, bringing the duo’s original concept into a bold, sculptural form.


Crafted entirely in 18K white gold and meticulously pavé-set with 37.55 carats of round brilliant-cut diamonds (1,600 stones), the piece reimagines a classic bow tie as a dazzling work of high jewelry. Its brilliant surface and architectural silhouette exemplify Jacob’s technical mastery, while the audacious transformation of a traditionally soft-fabric accessory into a rigid, gem-set sculpture reflects the creative ethos that Pharrell helped shape.


Weighing 124.1 grams, the bow tie merges wearability with spectacle and defies the boundary between accessory, sculpture, and adornment. Impossibly luxe yet rooted in the spirit of reimagining the everyday, it stands as a testament to the groundbreaking design movement Pharrell and Jacob sparked, and to the enduring influence of that early creative era.
