Following the record-breaking release of his highly anticipated new music, the Toronto superstar made sure his team celebrated the milestone in the most classic OVO style-an acronym for October’s Very Own-that is, with an exorbitant amount of diamonds. Always known for his extravagant gifts and almost maniacal attention to detail, Drake engaged renowned New York jeweler Alex Moss to create a series of custom pendants studded entirely with diamonds for his inner circle.
These exclusive pieces represent the ultimate trophy, a prize for making it through one of the most turbulent years in recent hip-hop history, thus taking on the symbolic value of a rebirth. The iconic October’s Very Own owl stands out on the front of the pendant, completely set with the highest quality white diamonds and finished with details with a deliberately “glacial” aesthetic. But the most significant detail remains the engraving stamped on the jewel: “The Cold War Is Over And It Made Us Even Colder.” A phrase that sounds like an elegant but unequivocal victory lap after months of fierce criticism, diss rap and industry tensions faced by Drake before the release of his latest projects.
If the OVO team received the classic iced-out version of the pendant, Drake naturally made sure his own piece was on another level. In fact, the “6 God” sported an exclusive one-of-one version designed by Alex Moss, replacing the traditional clear stones with an impactful ice-blue hue. The blue pendant fits perfectly into the frozen, winter-era ICEMAN aesthetic, dialoguing perfectly with OVO’s recent crystal-embellished hoodies.
Whether it’s breaking daily streaming records on Spotify or investing crazy amounts of money in celebratory jewelry for your team, the ICEMAN rollout continues to shape up as a masterclass in contemporary opulence. And while these Alex Moss-signed creations will not be available to the public, the message is crystal clear: Drake and the OVO universe are entering the summer with a decidedly glacial confidence and a more defined aesthetic than ever before.
