Where Does Yung Gravy Get His Jewelry?
The Story Behind His Signature Chains and Custom Pieces
When rapper Yung Gravy steps on stage in his signature retro-inspired style, it's not just his bold fashion choices that catch your eye—it's the jewelry. From oversized chains to custom pieces that reflect his unique personality, Yung Gravy's approach to jewelry perfectly mirrors the current hip-hop trend: bold, personalized, and unapologetically luxurious.
Recently, Yung Gravy made waves with not one, but two stunning gifts from Coastal Carats: a 0.72ct Cadillac cut champagne diamond necklace (J color, VS1 clarity) on an 18" 14k yellow gold curb chain for his opener Pertinance, and a breathtaking 3.56ct H VS2 oval cut diamond on a 20" flat anchor link chain for his girlfriend, Ari Kytsya. These exceptional choices showcase exactly why custom, statement jewelry is having such a moment in 2025.
Yung Gravy's Jewelry Sources: Custom is King
Yung Gravy has collaborated with custom jeweler JIWON CHOI, who created exclusive iced-out jewelry for his "Debbie" music video featuring Ari Kytsya JIWON CHOI. The project included custom pieces like the "ARI" choker, custom earrings, and personalized Gravy earrings—proving that the Minnesota rapper understands that truly memorable jewelry tells a story.
Like many artists in the hip-hop scene, Yung Gravy gravitates toward custom pieces that reflect his personality. His fashion aesthetic blends vintage-inspired outfits from the '70s and '80s with modern elements, and he's known for his love of oversized, brightly colored jackets paired with funky patterned shirts and retro sunglasses Costumes Hub. His accessories—including oversized chains and chunky rings—serve as conversation starters and highlight his attention to detail Costumes Hub.
The Coastal Carats Connection: Yung Gravy's Meaningful Gifts
When Yung Gravy wanted to show appreciation for the people who matter most to him, he chose Coastal Carats to create two exceptional pieces that tell different stories.
For Pertinance: Arizona rapper Pertinance is Yung Gravy's touring opener, known for bringing eccentricity and unforgettable energy to the stage with popular songs like "DROPTOP BEATER" and "WORLD KEEP TURNING" The Reflector. To honor this partnership, Yung Gravy selected a 0.72ct Cadillac cut champagne diamond in J color with VS1 clarity, set on an 18" 14k yellow gold curb chain. The warm champagne tone and unique Cadillac cut make this piece perfectly suited for an artist who brings bold energy to every performance.
For Ari Kytsya: Ari Kytsya (Ariel Danyluk) is a 24-year-old content creator from Seattle known for her viral TikTok videos, OnlyFans success, and unfiltered, sex-positive persona—and she's been Yung Gravy's girlfriend since May 2025 Yahoo!. For her, Gravy chose a show-stopping 3.56ct oval cut diamond in H color with VS2 clarity on a 20" flat anchor link chain. The substantial size and classic oval cut reflect both luxury and timeless elegance—a piece worthy of someone who's become a significant part of his life.
These choices speak volumes about what today's artists value in jewelry: rare cuts, exceptional quality, personal meaning, and pieces that stand out from the typical hip-hop jewelry you see everywhere else. By choosing Coastal Carats, Yung Gravy demonstrated an appreciation for independent jewelers who prioritize craftsmanship and unique design over mass-produced pieces.
The Cadillac Cut Diamond: A Rare and Meaningful Choice
The Cadillac cut champagne diamond necklace that Yung Gravy gifted to Pertinance represents one of the most distinctive and rare diamond shapes in the industry. But what exactly is a Cadillac cut?
A Cadillac cut is a five-sided diamond with one long side as a base, two sides that taper at the same angle, and two more sides that also taper to create an apex point—named for its resemblance to the famous Cadillac logo Dayagidiamonds. This step-cut diamond is historically rare and has become increasingly popular as both an accent stone and as a center stone for unique pendants Levys Fine Jewelry.
Cadillac-cut diamonds are particularly noticeable—they don't just balance out symmetry like typical side stones, they steal the show with their distinctive shield shape JCK Magazine. This makes them perfect for statement necklaces where the goal is to stand out, not blend in—exactly the kind of piece that would resonate in the hip-hop community.
The champagne color adds another layer of distinctiveness. While colorless diamonds dominate the market, fancy colored diamonds like champagne stones offer warm, earthy tones that pair beautifully with yellow gold and create a vintage-inspired aesthetic that aligns perfectly with Yung Gravy's retro style.
The Oval Cut: Timeless Elegance for a Modern Romance
For Ari Kytsya, Yung Gravy chose a 3.56ct oval cut diamond—a choice that speaks to both classic elegance and contemporary style. Oval cuts have surged in popularity because they offer:
Maximum brilliance with their modified brilliant-cut faceting
Elongated shape that creates the illusion of even greater size
Versatility that works beautifully as both a pendant and for future ring settings
Timeless appeal that transcends trends
At 3.56 carats with H color (near-colorless) and VS2 clarity (very slightly included, eye-clean), this diamond represents serious investment-quality jewelry. The flat anchor link chain in 20" provides a modern, substantial base that complements the diamond's size without competing with it.
The Color-Changing Sapphire Choker: Dynamic Luxury
For Ari Kytsya's second piece, Yung Gravy chose a color-changing purple-pink oval cut lab sapphire on a 14" choker chain—a choice that speaks to playfulness, versatility, and the cutting edge of gemstone technology. Color-changing sapphires are captivating because they offer:
Dramatic color shifts from rich purple in natural light to vibrant pink under incandescent lighting
Oval cut brilliance that maximizes the stone's color-play effect
Perfect choker length at 14" that sits high on the neck for modern, layered styling
Lab-grown advantages including superior clarity and more pronounced color-change than most natural stones
The shorter 14" length creates the perfect layering opportunity with the longer 20" diamond necklace, allowing both pieces to shine without competing. Lab-grown sapphires offer exceptional color saturation and ethical sourcing at accessible price points—meaning you can invest in dramatic visual impact and unique properties like color-changing effects that would be prohibitively expensive (or nearly impossible to find) in natural stones. This piece represents the future of fine jewelry: innovative, sustainable, and absolutely mesmerizing.
Why Hip-Hop Artists Choose Custom Jewelry for Meaningful Moments
The gifts of custom jewelry from Yung Gravy to both Pertinance and Ari Kytsya aren't just about luxury—they're about meaning, recognition, and celebrating important relationships. Custom pendants remain a major trend in 2025 hip-hop jewelry, with designs that reflect personal stories, brands, or cultural symbols, allowing wearers to own unique pieces according to their style and preferences Oscar Stone NYCMillenniumjewelery.
In 2025, custom jewelry is all about meaning—rappers and influencers are designing pendants that reflect who they are, from zodiac signs and initials to angel wings and even mini portraits Exotic Diamonds. Drake recently wore a pendant shaped like his son's drawing, proving that sentimental is the new flex.
By selecting Coastal Carats pieces for both Pertinance and Ari Kytsya, Yung Gravy joined this movement of artists who understand that the most meaningful jewelry tells a story and comes from makers who care about their craft.
The Floating Diamond Difference: Coastal Carats' Unique Approach
At Coastal Carats, we understand that truly special jewelry requires innovative design. While hip-hop culture has long celebrated diamonds in traditional settings, our floating diamond technique offers something entirely different—a modern approach that lets the diamond become the star of the show.
Our specialty floating diamond charms feature diamonds that are carefully drilled and suspended by jump rings, creating the illusion that the stone is floating in space. This technique allows for:
Maximum light exposure from all angles, enhancing the diamond's natural brilliance
Unique movement and dimension that traditional settings can't achieve
A contemporary aesthetic that complements both vintage-inspired and modern styles
Customizable designs where the diamond itself becomes the focal point
Like the rare Cadillac cut and substantial oval diamond that Yung Gravy chose for his special gifts, floating diamond jewelry represents a bold departure from traditional design—perfect for those who want their jewelry to tell a unique story.
