Closer Look at Alex Moss NY's Iced-Out 'SSS4U' and Nokia Phone Chain For Drake
Totalling over 150 carats of diamonds, Alex Moss shares with Hypebeast the creative process behind the pieces.
Summary
- Drake collaborated with Alex Moss to create an “SSS” wallet chain totaling over 100 carats of VVS diamonds and gems
- The collection also includes a diamond-covered, life-size Nokia phone keychain (54.5 ct VVS diamonds)
- Drake gifted a matching all-white diamond “SSS” set to Partynextdoor.
Drake has collaborated with jeweler Alex Moss on a set of new pieces in celebration of his recent PARTYNEXTDOOR collaborative album, Some Sexy Songs 4 U.
In an exclusive closer look for Hypebeast, Drake and Moss revealed a spectacular “SSS” wallet chain set that moves beyond traditional pendants. This unique collection transforms iconic logos into wearable art, all crafted with an astonishing array of VVS diamonds and precious stones. The centerpiece of the set is a modular wallet chain featuring three “S” renditions, each carrying significant meaning to Drake. The Superman “S” dazzles with 34.64 carats of VVS blue and yellow diamonds, accented with red rubies, while the Starter “S” shines with 35.92 carats of D-F VVS white diamonds and VVS blue diamonds and the Saskatchewan Roughriders “S” features 31.54 carats of D-F VVS white, VVS green, and VVS black diamonds, paying homage to the Canadian football team. Drake gifted a matching all-white diamond version of the “SSS” set to PARTYNEXTDOOR.
Moss also designed a custom double infinity loop chain that seamlessly links these three “S” pieces, with OVO Owl logos serving as clips on each end for belt loop attachment. Ingeniously, the wallet chain is modular and can be transformed into a regular chain set by linking the clips together as a clasp. Complementing this luxurious set is a lifesize Nokia phone keychain, also created by Alex Moss. This piece is encrusted with an incredible 54.5 carats of D-F VVS white diamonds and features a 3D homepage. It serves as both a companion to the “SSS” set and a direct nod to Drake’s hit single “Nokia,” complete with its own custom OVO Owl clip.
In an exclusive quote to Hypebeast, Alex Moss shared the creative process behind these pieces,
“The project took around 4 months to complete .
It was discussed around the time his $$$ album was getting ready to be released. We were speaking about this idea for some time.
The wallet chain idea was from Drake, he wanted to do something different this time instead of a chain. Each piece is modular so it can be worn separately as a necklace or the order can be swapped.
The Nokia phone was an idea created by myself to compliment the set. Adin Ross reached out to me and wanted to get Drake a gift as a congratulations for his new album. I thought a flooded life size Nokia keychain would be perfect.
The owl clips are custom and designed by me to give a total custom feel for this project.”
