A new auction will sell off some of Hip Hop’s most talked about pieces of jewelry.
Hip Hop’s Crown Jewels auction, put together by Phillips de Pury & Company will take place March 5. The event was originally slated for Oct. 1, but was pushed back due to “overwhelming interest” in the jewelry, according to a company spokesperson.
The final catalog is still being finalized, but details of some of the items are out. Lil Jon’s famous “Crunk Ain’t Dead” piece will be on the auction block. The piece has more than 3,700 diamonds and made the Guiness Book of World Records for the largest diamond pendant.
Other artists whose jewelry will be auctioned off include Missy Elliott, Kanye West, MC Lyte, Biz Markie, and Diddy.
