“Throughout the Museum, you’ll see objects that open a window onto our shared past or our current world, whether that’s nature, science, or culture. In ‘Ice Cold,’ the objects are magnificent jewelry pieces and the window opens into one of the most powerful social and cultural forces of the past 50 years of hip-hop,” said Sean M. Decatur, President of the American Museum of Natural History.
Designed by Mike Do of Seoul Jewelry in 2023, the letters on this gold-and-diamond pendant represent All Money In, the record label that the late rapper, activist, and entrepreneur Nipsey Hussle founded in 2010. Designed for Bad Bunny by ALLIGATOR JESUS in 2023, this grill set features 14-karat white gold with sparkling diamonds and rhodium plating.
When entering the exhibit, you immediately notice the stunning introductory case filled with emblematic jewelry from some of hip-hop’s most legendary artists, including a glittering crown, eye-patch, and 5-foot-long chain from Slick Rick, who was in the house for the opening party. Rick, a senior advisor for the exhibition, pioneered the royal motif in hip-hop. Other pieces in this case consist of an Adidas necklace from Jam Master Jay of Run D.M.C.
