A Scarf Reimagined: The Design Inspiration
Jacob & Co. reunites with global icon G-DRAGON to stretch the limits of jewelry design, as Kwon Ji-yong elevates his signature scarf aesthetic into luxurious, eye-catching jewelry. Modeled on the silhouette of the Chanel scarves G‑Dragon routinely drapes and christened “Bandana Royale,” the collar features 559.3 grams of 18K yellow gold and 209.7 carats of stones.
“G-Dragon has always embodied fearless creativity,” Jacob & Co. CEO Benjamin Arabov said in a statement. “This one-of-one creation reflects his world, which is bold, expressive, and constantly evolving.”
209 Carats of Mastery: Technical Specifications
Measuring 16.5 inches and weighing 559.3 grams, this 18K yellow gold collar marries technical mastery with artistic vision. Its 209.71 carats of gemstones are led by a 5.40‑carat Fancy Yellow round brilliant at the center, framed by 2,000+ white natural diamonds and a vivid pavé of rubies, emeralds and assorted sapphires, capped by the signature “G‑Daisy”… deliberately crafted with one missing petal to celebrate imperfect beauty.
G‑Dragon debuted the glittering bandana on South Korean stages twice in late December—once during the world tour’s final encore and again at the Melon Music Awards,adding even more shimmer to his striking outfits.
A Legacy of Collaboration: Peaceminusone x Jacob & Co.
This is not the first time the duo has made headlines. Jacob & Co. has previously collaborated with G‑DRAGON on a bespoke Astronomia watch (similar to the Astronomia Sky) and the Peaceminusone jewelry line. Peaceminusone is the Korean fashion label G‑Dragon founded with stylist Gee Eun in 2016; both collaborations feature the iconic daisy motif.
While the PEACEMINUSONE items are still listed on Jacob & Co.’s site with prices between $1,800 and $18,000, the Bandana Royale is unique and not for sale—G‑Dragon owns the only example in existence.
