Summary

  • BTS’s J-Hope showcased a unique, iced-out chain during his “Hope on Stage Tour” final show in South Korea
  • The diamond-encrusted chain was designed by VERDY and created by Alex Moss NY
  • Worn during a major performance featuring surprise appearances by other BTS members, the one-of-a-kind silver, gold, pink, and blue gemstone chain underscores J-Hope’s influence as a global style icon

BTS‘s J-Hope, known for his dynamic stage presence and impeccable style, recently turned heads with a show-stopping piece of jewelry during a high-profile performance. The global music icon showcased a bespoke, iced-out chain meticulously crafted by renowned New York-based jeweler Alex Moss NY, a piece that carries the distinctive artistic signature of Japanese graphic designer VERDY.

This isn’t just any chain; it’s a testament to the escalating artistry in custom hip-hop and celebrity jewelry. Alex Moss NY has become a go-to for A-list clientele, celebrated for pushing boundaries with intricate, diamond-encrusted creations that are as much sculptures as they are accessories. His work for artists like Drake and Tyler, the Creator has cemented their reputation for audacious, high-carat designs that perfectly reflect their wearers’ unique personas.

The involvement of VERDY elevates this piece into a true cultural artifact. VERDY, the creative force behind hugely popular brands like Girls Don’t Cry and Wasted Youth, is celebrated for his vibrant, playful, yet sophisticated graphic style, often blending Japanese streetwear aesthetics with Western influences. The integration of his famous Vick character and design vision is translated into an “iced-out” chain by Alex Moss that signals a powerful cross-pollination of creative worlds.

While specific details about the chain’s design (e.g., carats, gold type, specific Verdy motifs) will likely emerge in closer looks, one-of-a-kind piece is blinged out in silver, gold, pink and blue gem stones. It speaks to the meticulous craftsmanship of Alex Moss and the distinct artistic flair of Verdy, all brought to life through J-Hope’s global platform.

This collaboration underscores a significant trend: the fusion of high-end jewelry with graphic art and pop culture. J-Hope wore the piece for his final show at the Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium in Gyeonggi Province in South Korea for his “Hope on Stage Tour.” The show was a spectacle for BTS fans, with Jung Kook making a surprise appearance during J-Hope’s solo track “i wonder…” and alter Jin took the stage in a separate encore segment. RM, Jimin, V and SUGA were spotted in the audience as well. Take a closer look at the necklace above and below.
