– blogged by @worldwidekeege

A rapper’s chains are like his armor. They define the artist and for most, celebrate monumental moments in their careers. Between Ben Baller and Elliot Avianne, I don’t know who is freezing the streets more.
Take a look at the hottest chains in the game right now:

7. A Boogie wit da Hoodie’s “Highbridge” Chain
Maker: Elliot Avianne of Avianne & Co Jewelers
Price: estimated $100,000

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This chain is made in reference to the Bronx, New York neighborhood where this rapper grew up. The dope thing about this piece is that most people wouldn’t put diamonds around their neck where they can’t be seen. Not A Boogie though! He said, “Ice it all out!”

6. Offset’s “Raindrop” Chain
Maker: Elliot Avianna & Co Jewelers
Price: $100,000

Another timeless piece inspired by one of the lyrics from the Atlanta trio’s international single, “Bad and Boujee”. When you say the word “Raindrop,” you can’t help but nod your head and sing “DROP TOP!” at the top of your lungs, and this chain makes you want to scream it even more. Created by Avianna, the chain is completely covered in 65 carats of diamonds and has the words “Drop Top” engraved on the back. Now that’s an heirloom.

5. 21 Savage’s “Face Off” Chain
Maker: Rafaello & Co.
Price: Unkown

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Slaughter gang chief had a likeness of his entire head turned into a chain. His eyebrows and beard are encrusted with black diamonds, his teeth filled with gold diamonds and his lips with a fuchsia tone. On the backside is the famous “Jason”!mask with the number “21” above the eye.

4. Lil Yachty’s “Yachty Simpson”
Maker: Jon Guven Jewelers
Price: Unknown

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lil Yachty took to Instagram to show off this piece that he says was inspired by Gucci Mane. The back of the piece has a silver stencil of the 1017 birds and a sailing boat. The front is covered in colored diamonds and shaped like Bart Simpson from the popular cartoon sitcom. The only difference is that the character had Yachty’s red braids and beads. Of course, it wouldn’t be a chain without Yachty’s signature look!

3. Drake’s “OVO Owl” Chain
Maker: Ben Baller’s If & Co
Price: $120,000

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As an obvious form of homage to Drake’s OVO label, Ben Baller crafted this piece with an assortment of colored 40-carat diamonds.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Lil Uzi Vert’s “Marilyn Mansion” Chain
Maker: Ben Baller’s If & Co
Price: $220,000 USD

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just a step above his “Luv Is Rage” piece, this piece is a replica of the popular photo of Marilyn Manson in a Disney hat. Of course, the chain was made by none other than Ben Baller and is worth almost a quarter million dollars. Sheesh.

1. Quavo “Ratatouille” Chain
Maker: Elliot Avianne of Avianne & Co Jewelers
Price: $250,000

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Similar to his Migo brother Offset, this chain pays homage to one of Quavo’s classic lines in “Bad and Boujee”. In the song he says, “Still be playin‘ with pots and pans, call me Quavo Ratatouille.” The chain is iced out in VVS diamonds.
