Hip-Hop artists have an unnatural obsession with unnecessarily large chains, which is why it takes a special someone to make it into a list of Hip-Hop’s Most Ridiculous Chains. To make it onto the list, you have to be willing to take a few risks, and wearing enough cash to buy a house around your neck is just the beginning.
Platinum, gold and diamonds are all part of the chain arsenal, and the bigger the better, so click the link to see if your favorite lyricist has what it takes.

To top last year’s $6.5 million Fantasy Bra, Victoria’s Secret has expanded its offering to include a thong, garter, cuff bracelet and barrette, in addition to the bra itself, all made with $4.5 million in diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and yellow sapphires arranged in a holly and poinsettia theme.
Looks like someone is going to have a happy holiday!

If you’re artist Damien Hirst and you’ve just completed the most expensive piece of contemporary art the world has ever seen in the form of a skull covered with more than 8,000 diamonds (valued at up to $100 million), it can’t come as a surprise that some are going to be less than thrilled about it.
An artist named Laura was one of those people, and decided to show her feelings by creating a replica of the skull, covering it in 6,522 Swarovski crystals, and then dumping it behind the gallery where the original was being shown during the middle of the night. Trashy art indeed.

If you need another place to show off your diamonds (and emeralds, sapphires and rubies), then check out Kickbars, a white gold shoelace cover with sparkle.
Designed to capitalize on the limited edition sneaker market, Kickbars can be customized with any combination of jewels, and can be worn as a bracelet or a necklace if you’re going with a slip-on.
Ego not included.
