Hip-hop success story, co-founder of Def Jam Records, and Phat Farm fashion genius, Russell Simmons is the epitome of success. It seems whatever he touches turns to instant gold! Expect the next best thing to be Russell’s take on bling with his new collection of jewelry. Whether you pair one of these eye-catching pieces with a Phat Farm ensemble or jeans and a T-shirt, you’ll treasure your new item from the Simmons Jewelry Company! Take a look at some of the reasons this jewelry line is so popular:
1. Industrial Materials
Don’t expect to see precious metals like gold, silver, or platinum in a Simmons Jewelry piece. While this jewelry line does include a scattering of diamonds, the overall look is all about stainless steel and black rubber. With an emphasis on sturdy, affordable materials, the Simmons Jewelry collection is well within the price range of non-celebrity hip-hop fans.
Of course, a few diamonds does increase the cost, but not as much as many other lines of club jewelry.
2. Crosses and Dog Tags
If you’d like to hang a masculine piece of jewelry around your neck, the Russell Simmons’ designs are perfect for your sense of style! With a variety of heavy crosses and dog tags hanging from sturdy stainless-steel chains, this look creates the impression of power and strength. The cross design is also incorporated into rings, bracelets, and etched on dog tags.
One of the few designer jewelry lines to include a set of prayer beads, this collection is a testament to Russell’s faith and appreciation for his success.
3. Giving Back
Russell Simmons definitely believes in giving back to the community. He is a huge supporter of PETA, an animal rights group, and Upliftment Jamaica, a non-profit group that helps poor Caribbean communities. With his jewelry line, he hasn’t forgotten philanthropic causes.
To support educational opportunities in Africa through the Diamond Empowerment Fund, he has created an elegant green malachite beaded bracelet with a conflict-free rough diamond enclosed in a gold-filigree charm. At the Jeweler’s Choice Awards, this piece won Best Bracelet Design.
It seems that Russell can’t stop winning awards regardless of the venue! To make it easy for his fans to support this cause, this bracelet is priced at a mere $125.
4. Jewelry for Every Budget
As mentioned previously, many of the Simmons Jewelry Company’s pieces are very affordable. While high-end pieces are available for hip-hop celebrities, we’re pretty sure that Russell still remembers his humble beginnings. Instead of only creating jewelry for the very rich, he’s made sure that everyone can enjoy a little bit of glamour!
On the more expensive end of the scale, indulge your need for the very best with the Los Angeles 18 mm stainless steel and rubber bracelet with a full 5 ctw of diamonds. Equally attractive, you can invest an affordable $95 for an authentic Simmons’ bracelet made from 10 mm black onyx beads and a very small conflict-free diamond accent.
With these features, Russell Simmons is destined for success as a jewelry designer – you can already find certain stores that carry Russel Simmons jewelry. This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone who is familiar with his past successes.
