Burna Boy, one of Afrobeats' most influential artists, has just unveiled a jaw-dropping piece of jewelry worth over $1 million. This extravagant chain took over than six months of work to complete. The centerpiece of this stunning creation is a pendant featuring the initials "ODG", which stands for "Odogwu", a term that translates to “strong man” or “man of charisma” in "Igbo", one of Nigeria’s native languages. The term has become synonymous with Burna Boy’s image and is a nod to the song he released in 2020, titled "Odogwu."

The chain is nothing short of extraordinary. It showcases over 400 carats of VVS diamonds, one of the highest clarity grades in the world. Among these, 100 individual GIA-certified 30-pointer stones are meticulously set, making the chain sparkle in a way that only a true luxury piece can. The pendant and chain are adorned with a combination of round, baguette, Asher, and princess-cut stones, all selected with precision.
