Recording artist Lil Jon has set a new Guinness World Record for the ‘Largest Diamond Pendant’ for his ‘Crunk Aint Dead’ pendant.
With an appraised value of US$500,000, Lil Jon’s diamond pendant is 7.5 inches tall, 6 inches wide, and 1 inch thick, weighing 5.11 pounds with a total 73 carats of diamonds. The total stone count is 3,756 genuine round-cut white diamonds set in 18-karat yellow and white gold. The piece was created by jeweler Jason of Beverly Hills.
“I’m glad the Guinness World Records folks acknowledged me and my Crunk Ain’t Dead piece. I spent a load of money on that chain. I had no idea I would break a record and be recognized for it. It’s an honor to be included on that list. I grew up on reading and hearing about people and celebrities who break records in the Guinness World Records Book and it always fascinated me.
Now that I’m on the list, it feels great. Let’s just see how many rappers try to outdo my pendant and break my record. They don’t call me the King of Crunk for nothing!” enthuses Lil Jon.
“Guinness World Records is pleased to recognize Lil Jon as a new member of our record-breaking family. We congratulate him on his remarkable achievement in setting the record for the Largest Pendant which stands at 34.4 ounces, 7.5 inches long and 6 inches wide,” adds Alistair Richards, Guinness World Records Managing Director.
