Overview
- The original, Minaj-signed piece will be sold on Palmstreet on February 24 with a $30,000 minimum bid, with pre-bidding already open.
- ONCH says the sale is a direct response to Minaj’s recent public support for President Donald Trump, including a January appearance where she called herself his “number one fan.”
- The one-of-one necklace, created in 2011 and worn at the iHeart Music Festival, drew mainstream attention from outlets such as Billboard and Bon Appétit.
- The auction represents the first time the original piece has been made available to the public, according to the designer.
- ONCH, a Taiwanese-American jeweler whose clients include Rihanna, Kate Moss, and Ariana Grande, says the charity auction gives the work “new meaning” beyond current spectacle.
