“It’s time to celebrate the artists, jewelers, craftsmen, and everyday people who contributed to the storied history of hip-hop jewelry,” Vikki Tobak, guest curator for “Ice Cold,” said in a statement.

The exhibition, on view now through January 5, 2025, in the Melissa and Keith Meister Gallery within the Museum’s Allison and Roberto Mignone Halls of Gems and Minerals, spans five decades.

It begins with oversized gold chains from the 1970’s and ’80’s, including the Adidas necklace from Jam Master Jay of Run D.M.C that was made in honor of the 1986 hit “My Adidas.”

From this century, there are key pieces worn by Nicki Minaj, Drake and others. Have a look.

Nicki Minaj’s Barbie pendant

Nicki Minaj, a self-proclaimed Barbie girl, has been known as “Barbz” to her fans for years. Over the years she’s commisioned several different Barbie pendants, including the one she’s wearing here, now on display at the Museum of Natural History’s “Ice Cold” exhibit. nickiminaj/Instagram

Self-proclaimed Barbie girl Nicki Minaj, who grew up in Queens, has been called “Barbz” by fans for years — long before she teamed up with Ice Spice for the hit song “Barbie World” on the soundtrack to last summer’s blockbuster “Barbie” movie.

A few years ago, the rapper’s stylist enlisted 27-year-old jeweler Ashna Mehta for some hardcore Barbie bling.

Mehta, whose family runs a wholesale diamond business, set 54.47 carats of diamonds in an 18k-karat-gold Barbie pendant outlined with pink enamel that cost “hundred of thousands.”

The design is punctuated by a diamond heart.

Mehta told The Post she took apart her existing jewelry and put all the diamonds into the Barbie necklace she made for Minaj. Brian Zak/NY Post

“I made it within a week. I took apart all of my existing jewelry and I put all the diamonds into the necklace to have the opportunity to have Nicki wear it,” Mehta, who grew up on the Upper East Side and now lives in Dubai, said.

In a statement provided for the exhibit, Minaj noted that she’s never been one to wait for a lover to buy her jewelry.

“I always promote the girls to have their own stuff, be go-getters,” she said. “Don’t depend on a man for anything [and go] to school.”

Drake’s “The Crown Jewel of Toronto”

When rappers want a statement necklace, they call Alex Moss, a New York City-based jeweler known for bringing the drama with 3D diamond pendants, bubble-letter diamond chains and rings made to look like mini sculptures.

For Drake, he dreamt up “The Crown Jewel of Toronto,” featuring the Canadian city’s CN Tower being climbed by the Toronto Raptors’ and Blue Jays’ mascots.

“He said, ‘let’s make the sickest Toronto piece ever,’” Moss recalled of working with Drake.

“We’re both from Toronto originally and we have this synergy creatively whenever we make pieces.”

Tyler, The Creator’s Bellhop Necklace

Moss also made this bellhop pendant necklace for Tyler, The Creator’s 2021 album “Call Me If You Get Lost.” It features 23,000 hand-set stones, 186 carats in diamonds and 60 carats in sapphire. Brian Zak/NY Post

Moss also has pieces he did for Tyler, the Creator and A$AP Rock in the exhibition.

The above necklace, made for Tyler’s 2021 album “Call Me If You Get Lost,” was a tall order.

It features 23,000 hand-set stones, 186 carats in diamonds and 60 carats in sapphire, with a hanging pendant – a 3D bellhop in gold holding a briefcase in each hand.

“It was a half million-dollar project. This one took 10 months just to find the stones,” Moss said. “It’s 360 degrees. It’s like a 3D action figure.”

Moss’s visual inspiration for the bellhop pendant was Tyler, The Creator’s Wes Anderson-inspired bellhop look at the 2020 Grammys when he took over the red carpet in a baby pink uniform. Brian Zak/NY Post

Moss’s visual inspiration was Tyler, The Creator’s Wes Anderson-inspired bellhop look at the 2020 Grammys when he took over the red carpet in a baby pink uniform. That night, he won “Best Rap Album” for his album “Igor.”

Tyler stepped out in the bellhop necklace in 2021 at the BET Awards, after Moss flew the piece — valued at half a million dollars — to him personally.
