Complete Technique

This silver Walkman tape player pendant and necklace from Complete Technique is the hottest thing ever. Look at that craftsmanship. Look at the meticulous detail, down to the cassette inside. My heart is skipping! It’s only one model from the jewelry company headed by two partners in New York "” one of which has a background in making fine jewelry and the other in marketing "” who focus their designs mostly on the hip-hop set, with names like Mos Def, ?uestlove, Jazzy Jeff and DJ Krush among their fans. Bling is their game, but anyone who lives through music will gobble up these masterpieces if they’ve got the pretty penny to drop. Complete Technique also makes speakers studded with zirconium, 45 adapters, head phones that move, ’80s Japanese boomboxes plated in 18K gold and other customized jewelry, all equally sizzling and worth the arm and leg.
