Hip Hop Bling And Jewelry
In the early 80s, of the last century the rap music phenomena spearheaded by celebrated rapper like Run DMC, LL Cool J, Slick Rick, and others started to gain popularity & suddenly in no time it became a sort of cult following, with millions of fans from all walks of life. The rap music phenomena caught everyone across the globe like a wild fire. The rapidly increasing popularity and commercial success of their music brought to the rap musician big money & financial affluence of an unheard kind. As most of the early rappers, originally came from a modest and humble background, but with their newfound affluent identity they wanted to celebrate it in a unique way & what can be better than jewelry to celebrate it, as it has always been a status symbol. But with rappers basic jewelry was not enough as a reminder of how far they came along. They wanted something as unique as their stellar successes & thus started a new trend of big, bold and chunky jewelry with over the top design. In other words, there started the trend of Hip Hop Jewelry. Also known as bling bling jewelry, this jewelry fashion is still very popular among the rap artists.
A large percentage of youth across the globe has also adopted hip-hop jewelry as a bold new fashion statement. With its chunky look & courageous designs, hip-hop jewelry adds a new dimension to jewelry making & utilizes the skill & creativity of the most passionate jewelry designers. Hip hop jewelry comes in many form factors and designs, like pendants, chains, ring, earrings, watches, belt buckles, jeans chains, teeth grillz, shoe grillz etc. Suffice to say that in case of hip-hop jewelry, the sky is the limit.
The striking features of all hip-hop jewelry are the big, chunky form factor & the use of precious metals & expensive gemstones. This new form of jewelry style has virtually taken the whole world by storm. For many years it was limited to a select few, the rich & famous. However in later times with innovative manufacturing techniques hip hop jewelry is now made available to the masses. Hip hop jewelry is big & over the top not just for the sake of showing off, but rather a symbol of the arduous journey one has to endure to reach the stellar pinnacle of success.
