The milestone
Celebrating 50 years of hip-hop in the city where the culture was born, this moment recognised the inseparable relationship between hip-hop and jewellery. From gold chains and statement pendants to diamond-encrusted Grillz, jewellery has always communicated identity, ambition, success and individuality within the culture. Erick Kraftsman joined the celebration through the craft that continues to shape hip-hop’s visual language.
