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 tie extends that lineage, bringing the duo’s original concept into a bold, sculptural form.


Crafted in 18K rose gold and meticulously pavé-set with 34.21 carats of round brilliant-cut diamonds (1,367 stones, G color, VS2 clarity), the piece reimagines a traditional necktie as an exceptional work of high jewelry. Its brilliant surface and elongated, architectural silhouette exemplify Jacob’s technical mastery, while the audacious transformation of a soft fabric form into a rigid, gem-set sculpture reflects the creative ethos that Pharrell helped shape.


A striking blend of presence and precision, the tie stands as a piece that defies the boundary between accessory, sculpture, and adornment. Impossibly luxe yet rooted in the spirit of reimagining the everyday, it remains a testament to the groundbreaking design movement Pharrell and Jacob sparked, and to the enduring influence of that early creative era.
