Ya i'm not talking about any pendant with a jesus on it. I'm talking about "Jesus pieces" The ones that try and copy that one from the 90's. The style that Supreme sells, the style that are littered all over Fleabay. But we can just agree to disagree.
Buddy for the 2nd time i'm not talking down on anything. All i'm saying is that Kanye West is the reason why 75% of people wear a jesus piece and/or an angel. If he never wore one than all those people wouldn't have one.
@rollinwithangel & @cabased yall both right! They are and have been a staple in hip hop AND Kanye brought it back. @cabased its crazy we was just choppin it up about this... It's not that we're talkin down but just not any originality. @nickydoright u must be in the industry or u got it in for real because I don't see big chains and charms on a regular. Maybe them knockoff micros not chunky big boy pieces.
I honestly feel it never left, Kanye came out in 05 from 00-04 nas, jay-z, ja rule all wore the Jacobs, pretty much the biggest rappers during that time. Hell fabulous even had the famous white and yellow at the same time setup.
Keep it going and post what kept this thread alive;jewelry(one thing by ten different people)
You're right but that goes back to streets verses hip hop. I wish someone else would vouch for this.. Streets wanted big! More dope.. Bigger chain! But yes, we had our own charms. Even in the streets tho, errbody wanted a big Cuban but not many could afford one! So back to the "how often do you run into someone wit one" discussion!?! I want another Cuban and have wanted that big boy since high school. But I'm not following a trend, the trend is following me! I see more rappers that had it good actin like dope boys than dope boys actin like rappers. Rappers get on then go get the famous pimps to be in the video or say they got money like they moving dope! In not saying all rappers but they're out there. Some rap guys come from the streets.. They bring in the best chains aka Cubans and then all the other fakes follow suit. It was just hard to notice when errbody had there own style.. but Cubans been around from the begin. Fab wore the white and yellow, L's had the double Cuban/eagle, death row and the man in electric chair, P and the tank... Let me stop, I already said too muchthe proof is there on how certain individuals can and do influence the masses.Just go back in this very thread and look at what was being posted and by who,that one person I don't think is even on here anymore for whatever reason.
I've been checking out this thread since the beginning and I can see how the trend has went from the biggest boldest glitteriest(if its a word) jewelry was the talk of the town and just cool period.Now it's funny to see how a Cuban link bracelet ,chain and jesus or a cross is all you guys seem to talk about or post.The thing that made this thread great was the fact that everyone had their own idea of what was dope to them,figueroas,herringbones,ropes,diamond tennis bracelets,tiffany items and all of that other stuff.
I understand things change,times do get hard that's one of the reasons what smaller is in style but damn does everyone really want the same chain or setup?really,where you alive when biggie was an artist or puffy & mase were dancing around ?.
I have been watching this thread since the beginning and well before I actually had the money to buy buy jewelry. All that fruity loops wackadoodle crap that was being posted when this thread started is dead and gone for a reason. Much of it was fake anyway......the proof is there on how certain individuals can and do influence the masses.Just go back in this very thread and look at what was being posted and by who,that one person I don't think is even on here anymore for whatever reason.

I like how you named all your jewelry as the GOAT
What other pieces are there? After buying MANY misc chains and pendants I decided a couple of years ago that I was going to hunt and save for the specific pieces I have ALWAYS wanted and stop settling on something similar and cheaper

Big jewelry doesn't mean better btw.
Ya i understand that that's your personal opinion. I guess everyone feels the same way about they're own jewelry. I guess i'm lucky i'm not into big heavy jewelry since it is expensive. I do like expensive watches though.What other pieces are there?

Doesn't have anything to do with being big. Gold content, weight, diamond clarity, timelessness........
On the internets, 300 gram cuban and jesus set ups and 24k coin/baht set ups etc are commonbut I have yet to see a single person in real life with what I rock on.....
Might head out to the diamond district here in LA to check out some chains. Should I expect to pay/haggle down to 30/gram there too?
No. Miami Cubans are hand made in house at places like Reys and Daniels so they can sell them cheap. $35 would be nice for 14k. But don't expect it on a 10g chain.
Icebox has the best mold, hands down.
There was a NTer who got one from IF&Co who told them to remake that mold up there to be closer to the original. It turned out pretty good too, but Icebox has the official mold.
Its not really about my pieces. Swap out jesus, cross, coins with Medusa rings and chains then ill agree....lol
