The pendant, resembling a giant strawberry lollipop, is encrusted with pink and white diamonds: the "candy" portion dazzles with pink stones, while the "stick" sparkles with white diamonds. Sized about as large as a palm, the piece is not only bold but technically exquisite — each facet highlighting meticulous craftsmanship.

Though the official price remains undisclosed, experts estimate the chain’s value to be in the six-figure range. A viral video showing Carti literally licking the precious lollipop quickly exploded across social media, turning the pendant into a hot topic and meme sensation.

Alex Moss shared photos of the pendant on his Instagram, describing it as a "fusion of luxury and carefree rebellion" — a signature style perfectly matched to Carti. The designer once again cements his reputation as a leading visionary in custom jewelry, capable of transforming the most unexpected ideas into wearable art.
