Kanye West’s Necklace at the BET Awards 2010

June 27, 2010 | Category: Award Show | Author: John

If you were able to catch the opening of the BET Awards 2010, then you most likely saw Kanye West perform his new single “Power” atop a stage setup that appeared to resemble a volcano. Even more astonishing than the setup was the necklace that he was wearing. Rather than sticking with his usual Jesus piece, Kanye went with an oversized necklace that held a pendant that looked as if it could cover Kanye’s entire face. Not too much information has been released on the designer of the piece, but a close-up shot has been posted on Kanye’s official blog. If I had to guess, I would say that it is a custom piece from the accessories brand Ambush, which has been known to create jewelry based off of Egyptian imagery.

Edit Monday, June 28: It has been confirmed through Kanye’s official blog that the pendant is of an Egyptian deity called a Horus. Horus is not the brand, but simply the figure on the pendant.
