Rick Owens Temple Portable Ashtray Necklace

Product Insights & Style Tips

The Rick Owens Temple Portable Ashtray Necklace is pure artifact energy—icy, talismanic, and unapologetically industrial. The weighty silver-tone brass chain radiates that signature Rick severity, laid-back only in its deliberate nonchalance. Its slick, logo-engraved pendant legit feels like a relic snatched from some avant-garde future, complete with a sliding closure that turns a low-key accessory into a quiet flex. The snake chain shifts between armor and jewelry, catching the light with the subtlest, almost surgical sheen. Every detail is exacting, the whole thing reads equal parts underground club and hyper-modern cathedral.

As an accessory, it merges jewelry mentality with unexpected practicality: the pendant actually opens, so it’s not just for show—it can hold tiny essentials, a covert secret, or, as the name hints, a portable ashtray for those who know. The chain sits long at 31 inches, layering effortlessly over everything from raw tees and ribbed tanks to oversized tailoring. The lobster clasp keeps it secure so it moves with you, whether flung over a contorted Rick silhouette or grounding a slipped-off-shoulder slip dress. This isn’t about preciousness; it’s about presence, armor for late-night wanderings or daylight subversion.

Owens has always blurred the line between object and art, designing pieces for the downtown set who chase cult status, not trend cycles. The Temple Portable Ashtray Necklace feels like a nod to the ritual of self-expression—a small but commanding echo of the dark glamour and utilitarian cool that define the label’s world.
