Jacob Arabo, also known as “Jacob the Jeweler,” is an American jewelry and watch designer. His real name is Yakov Arabov. He founded Jacob & Company in 1986, which grew into an international luxury brand. Arabo began his career as a jeweler, creating bold designs that appealed to celebrities who became regular customers. 

Jacob’s innovative pieces caught the attention of the late rapper Notorious B.I.G., who gave him the moniker “Jacob the Jeweler” and introduced him to his entertainment friends. Unfortunately, Arabo faced legal troubles and was sentenced to 30 months in prison for lying to federal investigators about a multimillion-dollar Detroit drug ring run by parties known as THE BLACK MAFIA. Jacob the Jeweler’s case garnered attention due to his high-profile clientele and the moniker associated with his brand.
