I’d Expect Some Gaudy Goofy Gimmick Chain From A 20 Year Old Rapper I Dunno How An Old Head Walks Around With This

I Thought Alicia Keys Would Be Creating Hits For Decades But Does Anyone Care Or Listen To Her Music Anymore?

She’s Talented As Hell But Her shyt Ain’t Hitting No More

I was just thinking the same thing. I was like "I guess" when I saw it. I'm 41 I have no issue with the price point. If you can afford it, you can afford it. The extraness of it like some shyt you get when you young. Since I've gotten older I have a higher appreciation for simplicity that pops.

It’s not a waste of money if you buy jewelry that’s coveted by other rich people and will appreciate.

The problem with these idiots is they make highly custom pieces that are only as valuable as the value of the materials when it gets broken back down.
This.

Most, if not all custom pieces are fukking trash.

I think the chain is really nice.

Not sure where you’re getting the $400k from though

You ever notice how at these jewelry stores, they are NEVER filled with people of their own race buying that jewelry? I rarely see an Indian owned jewelry store filled with Indians buying that jewelry. Look at Johnny Dang's page. I don't see a bunch of Asians in there buying grills. I don't see Johnny himself wearing a grill. He has a picture with his daughter. She's not sporting a grill. Same with Avianne jewelers. I don't see a bunch of Italians in there buying it up. Why? Because the stuff they are selling is hugely inflated, and it's kind of like China Mac admitted and you even see the same rhetoric in the mafia movies... why push the product on your own people? If this was some really great stuff, you'd want your own people to get it first.

They got these negroes cheesing with a kool-aid smile, giving a shout out and giving tons of free advertising as their buddy jeweler sells them a $500,000 chain with probably $20,000 max of baby diamonds... if those are even all diamonds.

That piece actually on Alicia Keys neck looks like costume jewelry. The cycle is kind of disgusting to me though. We have these musicians pushing a bunch of auditory poison on their own race and as soon as they get their check, they are off to the races to enrich the Asian, Indian, Arab, Italian, etc. communities by dumping whatever profits the record label didn't hijack first at the jewelers or car dealerships... and then instead of us having a bunch of businesses to hire each other and build actual sustainable wealth in the community, all we get is a story 10 years later on how they wish they would have been smarter with their money and how it's all gone... and then we get the same cycle as the newest young rapper or musician completely ignores those same lessons and repeats the SAME cycle.

If you buy certain pieces and you don't touch it, aka don't flood it with diamonds, they can actually retain their value, but unfortunately, we know most of these musicians are prone to the latter..

AK is going back to her roots. I kinda dig it, her music is getting better because of it. For a good long minute she was the soundtrack to Lane Bryant
