• Kanye West’s Necklace at the BET Awards 2010

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.
