• Kanye Wearing Horus Chain and 4-Finger Pyramid Ring

Kanye West was recently seen at the “Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs” exhibition in New York wearing his Horus chain and 4-finger pyramid ring. In the photograph, Kanye is seen to the right of a golden canopic chest where King Tut’s great-grandmother, Tjuya, lays. It was confirmed last week that the Horus chain and 4-finger pyramid ring were created by Jacob & Co. and valued at $300,000 a piece.

• Kanye’s Horus Chain and 2-Pyramid Ring by Jacob & Co.

Three days after Kanye West’s performance at the BET Awards 2010 and the internet is still buzzing over his Horus chain and 2-pyramid ring. The 24k yellow gold pieces of jewelry were created by Jacob & Co.’s Jacob the Jeweler and are valued at $300,000 a piece. If Kanye’s jewelry game and leading single “Power” are any indication of what to expect with his upcoming album “Good Ass Job,” I think it is safe to say that he is back strong ready to take aim at all his critics and doubters.

This piece will be available for pre-order on the Good Wood online store for 72 hours, between February 12 and 14, with a retail of $65.

For all the Kanye West fashion fans who missed out on any of previous Good Wood Jesus piece releases, it would be a wise move to jump on this opportunity. Although Kanye was not the first to wear a Jesus piece, he definitely put it back on the map and has made it his signature piece of jewelry.

• Kanye Wearing Ambush Ring

If there’s one piece of jewelry that has become a staple to Kanye’s style, it is definitely his black Jesus piece. However, during this year’s Paris Fashion Week, it seems as though he opted to keep it at home and trade the neck-wear for a new accessory. Kanye is seen below wearing the “Eye Am Not Alone” gold ring from Tokyo-based brand Ambush. If you’ve seen the photos of Kanye at the fashion shows he’s attended the past couple of days, you’ll notice this specific ring with the 2 gold pyramids, but this is the first close-up shot of the accessory. Ambush was co-founded by Verbal from the Teriyaki Boyz, who Kanye has worked with in the studio in the past. The “Eye Am Not Alone” ring retails for $210 and can be purchased at Ambush retailers.

• Black Jesus Piece by Good Wood on Ebay

For anyone that was able to purchase the black Jesus piece from Good Wood on Black Friday, consider yourself extremely fortunate. In your possession is an accessory made famous by Kanye West that will never be released again by Good Wood. For those that missed out on the one-time release and are still interested in owning this wooden accessory, be prepared to pay a significant amount to resellers. The retail price was $65, but due to Kanye’s brand influence and Good Wood’s limited run of pieces, a recent Ebay auction for the black Good Wood Jesus piece ended at $285.
