If you have never heard of the term bling bling in your life before, it must definitely sound like something right out of the vocabulary of the Oompa-Loompas. If you are familiar with the term, then you are probably aware that it’s a raging trend in fashion, a must have for every wannabe fashionista, something that can complete your carefully planned attire, making you look oh-so-trendy. More so, if your taste in music includes Hip Hop and your friends swear by Eminem. That’s right, bling bling is none other than slang used for Hip Hop Jewelry. These are essentially large pieces of diamonds, iced out in chunks and strung together with platinum or gold. Hip hop bling is so ‘in’ that even the imitation ones make for a million dollar industry.
With some hip hop chains the size of Texas and a few forties, Beyonce will seem like a reasonable date selection, and you can finally get up the nerve to tell your girl who really runs the roost. At least when she puts you out on your butt, you will have all of that bling bling to pay for the hotel room fees for the next week or so.
If you want to buy bling bling then there are some things you need to bear in mind. Start with the 4Cs of diamonds, cut, carat, clarity and color. Bling doesn’t bling without its diamonds. To put it simply, the cost of a diamond is directly proportional to all these qualities except the cut. The bigger the diamond with lesser cuts the more expensive it is. Also, bigger pieces of rocks trap and reflect light better and hence sparkle more.
Not everyone can afford diamond jewelry though. And it is hard to keep up with the trends in bling bling when they change every so often. By the time you’ve bought a piece and worn it for a week or two, new designs would be the rage and you wouldn’t be as cool even after shelling out all that money.
While appearing as if you just walked out of Tutankhamen tomb takes time to put together and is best pulled off by those with the ego of a mountain, anyone with a PC and an Internet connection can now live the dream of wearing a pirate’s ransom as an accessory a near reality.
