Global icon Rihanna and her long-time friend Jacob Arabo created the Jacob & Co. Watch Anklet for her grand entrance at the Las Vegas F1 Grand Prix.
What Rihanna wears is awaited, watched, analyzed… and imitated because she always defies expectations. F1 Las Vegas was no exception, she once again pushed the boundaries. Known for her distinctive style and trendsetting fashion choices, Rihanna personally requested the creation of a unique watch anklet that seamlessly merges high fashion with creativity. The custom watch anklet, adorned with over 70 carats of round and emerald cut diamonds and set in 18K white gold is a true testament to Jacob & Co.’s craftsmanship and Rihanna’s visionary aesthetic.
Backstory
Rihanna’s relationship with Jacob & Co. goes back over a decade. She and Jacob Arabo would often discuss the jewelry she would wear. This is the kind of conversation Jacob Arabo has been having with the entertainment elite for twenty-five years. He is both creator and advisor, his vision serving his patrons and friends. Jacob Arabo is famous for this kind of trustful rapport, built on personal connection and intuitive understanding, as is the case with Rihanna.
She wears her Jacob & Co. timepieces and jewelry because she chooses to. Which is what happened when @badgirlriri sported her own diamond-set, red Brilliant Northern Lights for her Superbowl LVII performance or when she wore her Jacob & Co. Watch Choker to Pharrell William’s first Louis Vuitton Fashion Show.
