F-A-B-O...

So like i mentioned a couple weeks ago, Ben from IF&Co contacted me to work on some more jewelry design/mockup work. The client this time was the multi-platinum selling rapper Fabolous. He's known for his jewelry and his tendency to do a white gold and yellow gold version of everything, or alternating within the same piece etc. So the idea was to make a two sided piece, 1 side white, 1 side yellow. He already knew pretty much what he wanted, and due to the two sided concept, the options were kind of limited to start out with, so we went with the basic rectangular plate. It took a few rounds of changes to get the right typeface that he liked, but we ultimately settled on the same one used for the cover of his upcoming album Loso's Way.

So here are the pics...
















"1 side is all white diamonds on white gold, flip side is all yellow diamonds, yellow gold.
we even did the bail that way. over 3,700 diamonds total, over 55 carats total in diamonds! piece itself weighs 550 grams which is over 1/2 a kilo!" - the specs, via Ben Baller

Looking forward to doing more work for Ben and IF&Co, as its always a pleasure. If you want more info on the piece, go to Bens blog.

PS - BUY SOME STICKERS BEFORE THEY RUN OUT, THE ORDERS ARE ALREADY COMING IN. INFO IS BELOW vvv

    Damn. Doin big things as always! I will check out his upcoming videos to see if he is rocking that piece. If you ever meet Loso, tell him to quit making the same shitty cookie cutter albums over and over and go hard for an entire album!
