Client: IcecartelIndustry: Men's Diamond JewelryDeliverable: Brand Guidelines V1.0Pages: 38

Icecartel sells iced-out jewelry: chains, grillz, watches, pendants, custom pieces, born in the New York Diamond District. This book is the brand's operating system: one typeface, three colors, a 4px grid, and rules strict enough that luxury stays luxury at commerce speed. All 38 pages, exactly as designed.
