Some serious provenance pieces are up for grabs at Joopiter, Pharrell Willliams‘s digital auction site. Two auctions, “NIGO Knows" by NIGO and “Pharrell Knows Too" by Pharrell, will be closed for bidding by 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. tomorrow, respectively. So, if you want to take home Williams’s 18-karat gold and yellow diamond Lorraine Schwartz necklace or his Rolex Oyster Perpetual, you better act fast.
The two parallel auctions celebrate the two artists’ decades-long collaboration. Here, you can even snag fresh items such as pieces that debuted on Louis Vuitton’s Men’s Fall/Winter 2025 runway to artifacts like Williams’s Jacob & Co. Blackberry 8820 in solid gold (we assume it’s been wiped, so you probably won’t get ahold of his golden “rolodex"). Other pieces worth considering are Williams’s Franck Muller Cintree Curves Tourbillon (the brand is seeing a bit of a resurgence in certain circles, so it’s the perfect time to get in on a timepiece from this maker) to several skateboards from both NIGO and Williams, including a beautifully executed one from Hermès. Speaking of that French luxury house, there are many Hermès handbags. NIGO has clearly been spending heavily on coveted Birkins, and now he’s unloading. Maybe to make room for more?
Don’t sleep on the jewelry, either. If you like Williams’s yellow diamond chain necklace from Lorraine Schwartz, you should check out the over-the-top 24 Gemstone necklace, from the jeweler to the stars. It’s estimated to hammer down for between $800,000 and $1,000,000 but currently has a top bid of $300,000, so there’s an opportunity for a steal. This piece comes in sizable white diamonds, yellow diamonds, sapphires, and emeralds. Business is clearly booming for the duo, and they’re passing on the goods to fans and collectors alike.
