doubt it... I don't think those are real and if anything looks like they are gold plated... what's the big deal over pieces that are clearly props?




I strongly disagree it looks real not 24k though more like of a 22k color.

Ben and others have spoken on situations like these before- and it usually comes down to these dudes switching up and going back and forth between whoever is giving them freebies or tossing jewels to them at stupid prices in exchange for the marketing/fame etc.

for the Nuvo piece i would say it prob came out of some nuvo marketing budget and maybe them just commissioned whoever would do it cheapest?
either way its terrible and corny
