Feeling a little risque and kinky with your jewelry? Frank Ocean has something that may be up your alley.
His luxury brand Homer just released a line of new jewelry and accessories, the star of which is a diamond-encrusted cock ring. It seems that the brand is giving the family jewels the luxury that they deserve–if you’re ready for it.
Will You Add Homer’s Latest Ring to Your Collection?
The show stopper (or starter, depending on when you use it) has been dubbed XXL H-Bone Ring. The 18K and R-18 jewelry accessory features yellow gold and a diamond-embedded H-shaped metal pieces. This follows from Ocean’s other jewelry collection, where the H-initial for “Homer” has also been shaped into the typical bone for dogs as well.
Over at Frank Ocean Instagram, the singer-songwriter showed fans an eyeful not only of his latest creation, but also a peek at how it wears on a person. Fans have speculated that the model may be Homer himself.
According to sources, the collection features other designs for the cock ring. There’s a lower price rung for those who are just thinking of trying out a spicier jewelry addition. This can set you back a bit more than $1,000. The pieces can be accessed and ordered via Homer’s official website.
Those who want to go the more expensive route at the get-go also have a number of options. The center piece, XXXL H-Bone Ring features 18-karat yellow gold and embedded gemstones retail for $25,570. How’s that for pampering yourself?
Customers who want to see the jewelry pieces in person may want to drop by their New York branch starting August 11 to have a better look.
All About Homer
Beyond this controversial piece, Frank Ocean is known for his own luxury brand, Homer. Launched in 2021 with enamel pieces, diamond-encrusted jewelry, and 18-karat rings, the brand has expanded in 2022. The new collection, titled “When a Dog Comes to Stay,” features a number of jewelry pieces that go with the canine theme.
The collection combines the pixelated style with different dog breeds and H-bones. Classic pieces like the H-Bone High Jewelry Necklace plays with the design of a bone, and the letter H. Each H-bone link is connected using 18K white gold, with pave-set diamonds on the surface. Each Link dazzles with a large princess cut stone. Wondering just how many diamond pieces are in the necklace? Frank Ocean revealed that there are a total of 14,904 diamonds for the entire H-Bone High Jewelry Necklace. This brings the total carat weight for the piece to 116.15 carats.
To elevate this classic piece, the brand released a green version of the design. However, instead of a dainty pave setting, the design features what appears to be princess cut gemstones on the surface, finished in green Clover colorway.
Sustainable Effort in Jewelry
Homer prides itself not only for unique takes in jewelry. It also features some sustainable sources for its diamonds. As diamond trends shift to a more eco-friendly and sustainable gear, many diamond jewelry buyers also prefer stores that adhere to this shift.
Ocean’s Homer label advocates the same trend with its lab-grown diamonds. The “When A Dog Comes to Stay” collection showcases this as well. This means man’s best friend also becomes the environment’s best friend. All that without losing its high fashion quality,
Expanding His Artistic Efforts
Jewelry was not Frank Ocean’s gateway to the spotlight. He first broke in through a different industry: music. Frank Ocean Channel Orange first made waves a decade ago in 2012.
And while his jewelry line has been making more noise, given tour cancellations due to COVID-19, an old song has recently resurfaced onto fans’ consciousness.
Thanks to a recent dance trend on TikTok, Frank Ocean Lost suddenly shot up the search trends. With more than 170,000 videos on TikTok featuring the song as a background music, it’s not surprising that Frank Ocean’s single is making a resurgence.
Recently, TikTok has been the cause of song resurfaces, whether used as background music, or as a response to some dance challenge. With the fluctuating state of the pandemic still putting some people in their homes, it’s likely that this trend will continue.
Frank Ocean’s controversial cock ring jewelry may be a first step towards opening more risque possibilities in the jewelry industry. The Channel Orange creator’s jewelry might just be the perfect pioneer for this trend. Channel Orange boasts a radical openness that has been testament to freedom 10 years ago. It looks like its creator is far from seeing his creativity and radical views from ebbing.
