What is Hip Hop Jewelry?
Hip hop jewelry consists of flashy and extravagant accoutrements that were originally designed to serve as status symbols. While the wearer may be referred to as “iced out,” it is also known as “bling bling,” “bling.” Hip hop jewelry is classified by its use of diamonds and gold. Different styles of hip hop accessories have shifted over time, from gold to white gold and platinum, but the purpose remains the same—to show off and be seen.
