It chronicles the evolution of hip-hop jewelry from the 1980s to today, featuring hundreds of iconic photographs and essays by hip-hop legends. This multilingual edition celebrates the artistry, culture, and identity behind the bling, making it a definitive collector’s piece for fans and fashion-forward professionals alike. ## Description Whether it's diamond-encrusted grills, oversized “truck” style chains, bust-down Rolex and Patek Philippe watches or a Tiffany necklace, jewelry is a cornerstone of hip-hop culture. Glittering, blinged-out jewels are the shining statement of a collective identity: unapologetic, charismatic, and street savvy . Spanning the history of hip-hop jewelry, from the 1980s to today , Ice Cold: A Hip-Hop Jewelry History is a stunning compilation of storytelling and visuals. Hundreds of extraordinary images of every major hip-hop artist on record celebrate how “Ice” has become a proclamation of identity and self-expression. Starting with Run-DMC’s gold Adidas pendants and Eric B. & Rakim’s ostentatious dookie rope chains and Mercedes medallions, the jewelry then transforms from street style into a booming design culture. The hip-hop tradition of “show up and show out” reaches new heights with artists like Pharrell Williams , Jay-Z , Gucci Mane, and Cardi B , whose over-the-top pieces integrate unique pop culture references, unconventional materials, and enduring collaborations with artists like Takashi Murakami. Author Vikki Tobak reveals – in great detail – the work of pioneering jewelers such as Tito Caicedo of Manny’s, Eddie Plein, and Jacob the Jeweler as well as newer artisans such as Avianne & Co., Ben Baller/IF & Co., Greg Yuna, Johnny Dang, Eliantte, and many more. Ice Cold is a treasure trove of dazzling, inspirational style, featuring the work of leading photographers, including Wolfgang Tillmans, Janette Beckman, Jamel Shabazz, Timothy White, Gillian Laub, David LaChapelle, Danny Clinch, Chris Buck, Mike Miller, Phil Knott, Raven B. Varona, Al Pereira, Albert Watson and many more. A foreword by hip-hop superstar Slick Rick and essays by A$AP Ferg , LL COOL J, Kevin “Coach K’ Lee and Pierre “P” Thomas of Quality Control Music take us on personal journeys into their jewelry universe. Ice Cold goes beyond the ostentatious bling to reveal a transformative story that is loud and proud. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 9.84 x 1.77 x 13.39 inches | | Edition | Multilingual | | Isbn 10 | 3836584972 | | Isbn 13 | 978-3836584975 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | Multilingual | | Print Length | 387 pages | | Publication Date | August 2, 2022 | | Publisher | TASCHEN | ## Images ![Ice Cold: A Hip-Hop Jewelry History (Photography Book) (Multilingual Edition) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91EV+jE7g8L.jpg) ![Ice Cold: A Hip-Hop Jewelry History (Photography Book) (Multilingual Edition) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81RKt+G56xL.jpg) ![Ice Cold: A Hip-Hop Jewelry History (Photography Book) (Multilingual Edition) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1kJRU8eFGL.jpg) ![Ice Cold: A Hip-Hop Jewelry History (Photography Book) (Multilingual Edition) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1OXqdIiLGL.jpg) ![Ice Cold: A Hip-Hop Jewelry History (Photography Book) (Multilingual Edition) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91d7fzM+26L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extraordinary Piece of Literature *by on Reviewed in the United States December 14, 2023* Overall this book contains a multitude of images and a description of different prominent artist and their jewelry pieces that capture their aesthetics.
