Let’s talk about rare diamond stones for a moment. If you were to take a guess as to which colored diamond was the rarest, which color would you guess? Blue? Canary Yellow? Red?
 Remember when Jennifer Lopez was engaged to Ben Affleck and he bought her that massive 6.00 ct. Pink Diamond from Harry Winston that set him back a whopping $3 million. (BANANAS!)
At that moment if you had asked me if I thought pink was the rarest of rare diamonds, I would have responded with a loud shriek (because, um, who doesn’t want to let out a shriek when they hear about someone getting a 6.00 carat, 3 million dollar ring?) followed by a ‘yes’.
I would have responded ‘yes’ due to a lack of knowledge about diamonds. The ring itself was not $3 million dollars because the pink stone was so rare. Many factors play into the price of a diamond, like clarity, cut and of course the amount of carats. However pink is not the rarest color of diamonds, neither are blue, yellow or red.
For those of you who knew the right answer this entire time while I continued to ramble, take this time to pat yourselves on the back.
GREEN, ladies and gentleman! Green diamonds are the rarest diamonds that money can buy.
For a second, let’s take a minute to go over why and how green diamonds are as rare as they are…
Through the process of radiation we are able to turn a simple white diamond into something as rare as a green diamond. Green diamonds originally start off as White Diamonds…can you believe it? I know, it seems a little out of the norm, but actually this is how colored diamonds are made…even J-Lo’s pink diamond sparkler!
Unfortunately you never really know what you are going to get through the process of radiation. Yellow and blue are the most common colors you will come across. In order for a white diamond to turn into a green diamond by irradiation one is more than likely to go through 30.00 carats of white diamonds before one of them turns green. This being said, green diamonds are extremely hard to produce and when they are finally produced, chances are you’re going to pay a hefty amount of money for these rare commodities – some can run into the millions price range!
Did you know that over 15,000 pieces of jewelry we have on our website only six of those pieces are made with green diamonds?
Slimer for instance – 8.40 ct. of green, red and black round cut diamonds. If you were to find anything like this anywhere else, this pendant would run you upwards of $15,000. Here at TraxNYC we understand what it’s like to want to set yourself aside from the others, to have something you know no one else is going to be able to acquire. This being said, we made this pendant not only affordable but attainable. But just because we made it attainable, it does mean everyone is going to own one. Because green diamonds are so rare we were only able to make a handful of these Slimer Pendants. So if you have green diamonds on the brain I suggest you invest in one ASAP!
Simply speaking, green diamonds are a rare treat they are never used to their potential. Here at TraxNYC we understand the value of green diamonds. So when we find them, obviously it makes sense that we collect them and use them to create gorgeous pieces of jewelry. Not many jewelers offer green diamond jewelry so if you’re looking for something out of the ordinary here at TraxNYC is where you will it.

Like Frank Sinatra once said, “For as rich as you are it’s much better by far, if you’re young at heart”.
Growing up, who was your favorite cartoon character? Bugs Bunny? Maybe Spiderman? Wouldn’t you love to embrace your inner child?
Calling all diamond lovers, character connoisseurs, and those of you who are young at heart, TraxNYC has something new and innovative they are bringing to the table this year. Diamond Character Pendants! Pendants customized to your very own liking. TraxNYC is taking recognizable characters and turning them into wearable art. Intricate detailing combined with exotic materials make for the perfect piece of jewelry (not to mention you would never be able to find anything remotely like this, at these prices anywhere else).
Exotic materials you ask? Think of pendants made from not just your regular White and Yellow Gold but Blue Gold, Black Gold, Yellow Gold. Rare diamonds, colors of Blue, Green, and Red.
Take the character Zelda from the famous Nintendo64 video game, The Legend of Zelda. Made from 10k White Gold, the pendant is absolutely stunning. With accents of Yellow, Rose, and Blue Gold, Zelda stands tall, in his usual stance, sword in hand, at 3.4’’ tall. What makes this pendant really spectacular is Zelda’s attire. Green diamonds (3.50ct to be exact!) sparkle on top of Black Gold for the perfect, radiant look.
Normally purchasing a pendant like this can run upwards of $11,000. TraxNYC is taking a modern day approach with these new creations. Thanks to technology TraxNYC is not only able to give you the best quality of these rare materials but they are making them affordable. So everyone who is anyone can enjoy these pendants.
Zelda is one of the many characters that TraxNYC is bringing to life in their Custom Diamond Pendant Collection. These refined pendants make for awesome collectables and amazing gifts. So start a collection today, and place your order!

Halloween has just passed. On that one day each year people dress up as their favorite TV character, super hero or monster – then the very next day they go back to the same old routine, the same old clothes, the same old life. We put it to you here today: Why not live your life they way YOU want to live it each and every day? Shun the boring stuff that people want you to adhere to and choose to do things differently – choose iced out jewelry.
When you wear hip hop jewelry you show that you aren’t just another sheep following the crowd. Think about it; remember all of the great names in hip hop, from modern moguls like Jay Z all the way back to legends like Tupac, Biggie and Jam Master Jay? Those guys were all innovators, doing their own thing and not giving a thought to what others think.
That is the empowerment you get when you wear iced out jewelry. Sure, you’ll stand out from the crowd, but you’ll stand out in a way that will gain you the utmost respect from those around you. Style, class and presence are things you can’t buy, but hip hop jewelry can and will help you accentuate those inherent qualities.
So step out of line for a change and choose some iced out jewelry from TraxNYC. You won’t regret it.

As you no doubt know by now, Steve Jobs, one of the biggest personalities ever to grace the world of technology, has passed away. Every person, every news outlet, every blog is saying how much he and Apple have changed the world, particularly with the iPhone. This got us thinking – how much of an effect have Jobs, Apple and the smartphone tech they pioneered had on the world of hip hop and hip hop jewelry?
We heard an argument recently that gadgets and technology have become more important to rap superstars than hip hop jewelry. We know that that is BS straight up – do you really think jewelry aficionados like Lil Wayne and Gucci Mane would value a new iPhone 4S more than a sick hip hop diamond pendant? Of course not. Nonetheless, that comment got us thinking…
Take the so-called “clean” hip hop stars, of which Jay Z is probably the figurehead, for example. Having ditched his grimy look of old, Jay is rarely seen in anything more extravagant than jeans and a white T these days. He may have toned down his jewelry use, but he is an avid tech head, rarely spotted without his smartphone, and you can bet he will be first in line for the new iPhone 4S.
The same goes for Dre, although he’s certainly not afraid to keep rockin’ hip hop jewelry. With the explosion of Dre Beats headphones on to the market, he has become a hip hop tech icon, making great music sound even better for his fans and all music lovers – if the marketing spiel can be believed that is.
So what does this merging of hip hop with tech mean for the jewelry game? Nothing much, quite frankly. Jewelry and technology are separate areas of the style universe. And to add to that, hip hop jewelry is already adapting to this changing environment – just check out the diamond encrusted iPod earbud covers in our hip hop jewelry collection!
In the same way Apple launches a new product like the iPhone 4S at regular intervals, we are always bringing you the latest in diamond jewelry trends here at TraxNYC. Look out for more coming soon.

14k gold is the optimum grade for almost every diamond jewelry buyer out there. It is the perfect blend of alloy and pure gold, meaning it has strength and durability while still maintaining its pristine golden luster, unimpaired and shining brightly in your ears when you choose 14k yellow gold earrings. Of course yellow gold is not your only option; at TraxNYC we have an extensive selection of 14k white gold earrings too – as usual, all tastes are catered for at Trax.
Pairing 14k gold with a beautiful pair of diamond earrings results in the most perfect of combinations. Earrings are more popular than ever now because they don’t need to be huge to attract a lot of attention. For instance, if you want a respectable gold and diamond pendant or even a ring, you need to use a lot more raw materials than you would for a pair of 14k gold earrings. Money talks!
14k white gold earrings are a great investment because the rhodium used to give the earrings their white gold appearance can be removed later on if you want to make them yellow gold. Yet, similarly, a pair of 14k yellow gold earrings can be treated with rhodium to make them into a pair of white gold earrings – so you really can’t lose either way!
TraxNYC has a near-unfathomable selection of gold earrings for both men and women. You also have the option of creating your own pair of custom diamond earrings with Custom Jewelry TraxNYC if for some reason you can’t find what you are looking for in our extensive diamond jewelry back-catalog. So start exploring at TraxNYC.com today to find a pair of affordable 14k gold earrings that will be the envy of your friends and your foes alike.

It’s been a massive time for the hip hop music industry of late. The biggest names in hip hop – most notably Lil Wayne and a combo of Jay Z and Kanye West – have released brand new albums to massive critical and commercial acclaim. As a genre, hip hop music is showing no signs of ever slowing down. Much the same, as a luxury niche, hip hop jewelry is on the permanent up and up too.
We all like some Cash Money, whether we’re talking about the record label or the dolla dolla bills. When it comes to the latter, you won’t have to part with much of your hard earned cash to become the proud owner of some world class hip hop jewelry – if you shop online with TraxNYC that is. Our hip hop deals will not be beaten.
It’s true that times are tough for many of us at the moment, and the days of humongous gold and diamond pieces are almost gone as a result. Gold prices hit a record high only last week and they don’t look like slowing down any time soon. Of course if you are a hip hop star you can still afford to buy whatever the hell you like, but unfortunately most of us can’t label ourselves as such.
But don’t let outside factors deter you from going large with your hip hop jewelry. The Trax custom department has developed a flat rate custom pendant option for our customers where, using synthetic stones and solid silver instead of diamonds and gold, you can make that sick hip hop pendant you have always dreamed of for one great price.
Connect with TraxNYC today and get on board with some iced out hip hop jewelry to accompany your hip hop music collection.
