Ben Yang, better known by his alter ego persona of Ben Baller, has been crafting high quality custom jewelry pieces for high-profile clientele for decades and in 2017, he elevated his game to the next level. After briefly retiring and un-retiring in January, the co-founder of IF & Co. came back with a vengeance releasing an A$AP Ferg Yamborghini piece; OVO Owl and Stone Island logo pieces for Drake; a Marilyn Manson-endorsed Coachella piece complete with choker for Lil Uzi Vert; a nano Jesus piece and a Big Lebowski 40th birthday chain for John Mayer; Murakami flowers for J Balvin; and a Flower Boy set for Tyler, The Creator. Not only is he pushing the envelope for jewelers around the world with new cuts, designs, and colors, but he’s doing it his way, all while balancing life as a husband and father.
