Piece of the Week: Snoop Dogg’s Olympic Gold
Snoop Dogg wore King Ice’s custom-made “Iced Eiffel Tower” necklace during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

As NBC’s special Olympics correspondent, he has been involved with this year’s games in many ways, including being one of the few torch bearers to carry the Olympic flame through the streets of Saint-Denis to the Stade de France Olympic Stadium last week.
While talking with NBC’s Mike Tirico over the air, Snoop Dogg was seen wearing King Ice’s “Iced Eiffel Tower” chain and saying, “I found out that when you hold the torch you are a peace messenger, so I really felt good about that ... We’re here for peace, love, and unity, and great sportsmanship.”
The 14-karat gold chain holds a pendant picturing the Eiffel Tower and the five Olympic rings with a background set with more than 600 gemstones.
The tip of the Eiffel Tower is a diamond encrusted torch with gold flames, while the entire pendant is outlined by a laurel wreath.
King Ice is a fine jewelry company that specializes in creating jewelry for hip-hop and streetwear culture.
The 2024 Summer Olympics started on July 26 and will continue until Aug. 11.
