Alex Moss NY Crafts Exclusive 'Don't Tap the Glass' Gold Chain for Tyler, the Creator
Summary In a dazzling new chapter of their long-standing creative partnership, renowned New York jewelerAlex Mosshas crafted an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind chain forTyler, the Creator. This bespoke design, which marks a bold departure from Moss's typical, iced-out creations, is entirely solid gold, deeply personal, and unlike anything he has ever produced. The story of this collaboration is a testament to a relationship built on mutual respect. Tyler was Alex Moss's very first VIP client, and as he geared up for the rollout of his new album,Don't Tap the Glass, he issued a clear brief: 'go left field.' The resulting jewelry set is a masterclass in unexpected elegance—all 18K yellow gold, bold, and disruptive. The design pulls inspiration from the classic jewelry silhouettes of the '90s, featuring a massive Byzantine chain link and an oversized rope chain link. The rope chain is featured prominently on theDon't Tap the Glassalbum cover, making it an instant icon. Both of these powerful chains are secured with custom AMNY 18K yellow gold locks, showcasing a meticulous attention to detail. At the heart of the setup is a custom, Saint Lazarus-style pendant, a staple of hip-hop jewelry history. Tyler, however, has infused this cultural symbol with his own irreverent twist, reimagining it with his own likeness at the center. This personalization brings a fresh, modern energy to a deeply traditional design. This entire vision was born from in-person creative sessions between Tyler and Alex Moss in New York City, reinforcing the collaborative spirit that defines their synergy. The resulting piece is a true work of art, a stunning fusion of '90s nostalgia, hip-hop history, and Tyler, the Creator's unique and boundary-pushing vision.

However, behold this iced-out Nokia phone and wallet chain that jeweler Alex Moss made for Drake's Some Sexy Songs 4 U album.
