Jacob & Co. teams up with G-Dragon to unveil the bespoke high jewellery masterpiece ‘Bandana Royale’

Jacob & Co., in collaboration with South Korean music and fashion trailblazer G-Dragon, has introduced Bandana Royale, an exclusive high jewellery masterpiece. The one-of-a-kind neckpiece highlights the deepening connection between pop culture, individual identity, and ultra-luxury jewellery craftsmanship.

Created in a bold collar silhouette, Bandana Royale is inspired by G-Dragon’s iconic bandana, transformed into a striking high jewellery statement. Crafted in 18K yellow gold, the piece is adorned with over 200 carats of diamonds and vibrant coloured gemstones—including rubies, emeralds, and sapphires—meticulously arranged in intricate pavé settings.

A floral centerpiece featuring a fancy yellow diamond pays homage to G-Dragon’s signature daisy symbol, reinforcing the storytelling ethos behind the design. The scale, detailing, and engineering of the neckpiece reflect Jacob & Co.’s mastery in complex gemstone setting and innovative jewellery construction.

The creation was unveiled publicly during G-Dragon’s recent stage performances, underscoring how high jewellery is increasingly being used as a medium for self-expression, performance aesthetics, and visual narrative, rather than solely as formal ornamentation.

From an industry standpoint, Bandana Royale represents evolving trends within the luxury jewellery sector—most notably the growing impact of celebrity-driven collaborations, heightened demand for bespoke statement designs, and a stronger focus on narrative-led creations. Although designed as a singular piece, the project signals broader potential for jewellers to craft limited-edition, story-centric works that appeal to culturally aware and image-driven audiences.
