Drake has a new diamond necklace made entirely from engagement rings that he never proposed with.

The “Hotline Bling” singer has commissioned the necklace to be made by Alex Moss in New York.

The piece, entitled “Previous Engagements” has been made to honour “all the times he thought about it but never did”.

The jaw-dropping necklace took 14 months to make and features 42 natural diamonds of various shapes, including round, Asscher, emerald, and pear shapes. The diamonds are set in 18kt white gold, with the central diamond slightly larger than the others. In total, the diamonds weigh 351.38 carats, meaning each stone is over 8 carats and the larger central stone at least 10 carats. 

the price tag for the necklace is easily $13 million. The necklace was made by New York jeweler Alex Moss, who unveiled the piece on his Instagram in a video showing the details of the natural diamond necklace in a beautiful, custom-made box also set with natural diamonds that make up the jeweler’s “AM” logo.

The jeweler also included the caption “New piece titled ‘Previous Engagements’ for all the times he thought about it but never did it. 42 engagement rings, 351.38 carats in diamonds.” Each natural diamond, though different shapes, is matched to perfection and is the result of countless hours of work and selection, of which Drake played a part. It is certainly a work of art and among the largest of its kind.
