Custom Multi-Gemstone Murakami Character 'Lei' and Kiki Pendant Chain

A true one-of-one masterpiece, this Ben Baller x Takashi Murakami x Kid Cudi collaboration is a stunning mix of fine jewelry, artistry, and music culture - meticulously crafted over nearly a year in Cudi's attempt to create "the illest fucking chain I could possibly make". The Kiki pendant, in 18k rose gold, comes to life with an exquisite array of pink sapphires, rubies, and diamonds, elevating Murakami's signature playful aesthetic. Complementing the pendant, the 'Lei' chain, designed by Kid Cudi and inpired by widgets on a pair of Murakami Crocs, forms a mesmerizing network of Murakami flowers and skulls, each flower designed to spin, allowing the inset gemstones to catch and reflect the light in dynamic brilliance. This 2020 creation stands as a singular expression of creativity and luxury, embodying the artistic synergy between the three visionaries.

Kid Cudi and Takashi Murakami first collaborated in Murakami's Japan studio to create the cover art for Cudi's 2018 Kids See Ghosts album. An avid collector and longtime admirer of Murakami's work, Cudi has amassed an extensive selection of the renowned artist's creations. Over the years, their relationship has evolved into a genuine friendship, inspiring a series of remarkable collaborations, including this necklace.
