Kanye West has one of the most unique senses of fashion in the world of hip hop, not to mention a unique personality as well. Back in 08 he turned the hip hop world upside down when he would perform in his signature shutter shade sunglasses. That’s a bit of a contradiction since they don’t really block any UV rays though. He recently shocked the world again! No, not the VMAs incident, but when he showed up to public events in a custom made black Jesus piece pendant. Kanye’s style is so unique and rare, just about every piece of jewelry he owns is custom made, and yes, very expensive.

The shutter shades went mainstream in 2009, with many hip hop accessory stores carrying the item. They were probably the hottest holloween item of 2008 when everyone wanted to be Kanye. You can get his shoes and most of his clothing from online stores and custom clothing outlets, but the black Jesus piece pendant is still a very rare and hard to find piece. This is because most custom jewelry makers simply don’t have the ability to make black colored jewelry so even if you had the money, you can’t just walk into a jewelry store and ask them to make you a black Jesus piece.

The black Jesus piece is a very different and unique piece of jewelry. It’s not polished gold or platinum, it is black colored. No one knows for sure what the metal is underneath Kanye’s piece but himself and his jeweler, and maybe Jay Z since he owns the exact same piece. The stones are black diamonds, which are much more rare and expensive compared to typical white, clear diamonds. Most jewelers don’t have the equipment on hand to make a black finished piece, and Kanye’s jeweler probably charged an arm and a leg, which for Kanye is probably just a day’s pay.

The black Jesus pendant is only available through exclusive online retail outlets at the moment. Hip hip bling has been a pioneer in hip hop jewelry for over 10 years now and they have recently just introduced the black Jesus piece to their lineup of black colored jewelry which includes popular pendants, chains and crosses. The black Jesus pendant is made out of solid alloy metal, which gives you that heavy feel you’d expect from top quality jewelry. The stones are not black diamonds, but affordable black cubic zirconias which look like real black diamonds with the unique subtle shine. It even comes complete with a 36 inch rosary bead chain, exactly like Kanye’s.

You can get the full Kanye style look at hip hop bling, they even carry the shutter shades as well. In a few months, they will be launching more celebrity style jewelry. Now any hip hop fan can get the look of custom made celebrity style jewelry without breaking the bank. The black Jesus piece is the hottest item to drop in the world of bling.
