Hip Hop Jewelry: An Urban Fashion Statement
Custom hip hop jewelry is an urban fashion which is quickly becoming mainstream. It is now common to see people who do not typically listen to this music or who reside in the suburbs showing off their real and fake hip hop jewelry pieces. The question is how can I find stylish creations that are affordable and still fits my taste?
Nowadays, anyone can pretty much find anything online. This “bling” as hip hop jewelry is commonly referred to, can be found on many different sites. Entrepreneurs have scored the wholesale hip hop jewelry market because of the relatively low start up cost and the popularity of the product. These business owners are purchasing lines of silver urban jewelry in bulk and selling these items separately online to turn a profit. This is a great idea because not only is silver an affordable metal, it is also popular in real and fake hip hop jewelry because of its bright shine needed for club wear. Added to the silver are 100′s of CZ diamonds that creates the bling, or also referred to “iced out” look.
While silver hip hop jewelry is the most common kind seen on kids today, this may be referred to as “fake hip hop jewelry” within the hip hop community where these trends started. Many, if not most people are not able to spend thousands if not millions of dollars on the real hip hop jewelry or custom pieces that the hip hop community can splurge on. These designs can range from platinum to white gold and real diamonds on any of the following; grillz, pendants, LED Dog tags, watches, spinners, chains, belt buckles, bracelets, and rings. While fake hip hop jewelry or “knockoffs” can range from $20 to $200 depending on the piece, the real thing has no limit or price range. These pieces commonly can be several hundred thousand.
The best thing about hip hop jewelry is that there are types for all ages and all budgets. There are high schoolers that are able to wear a form of the urban jewelry, whether it is wholesale or fake, while there are rap artists who rock the custom hip hop pieces. Either way, these creations are definitely taking over the industry, and accessorizing an array of different communities in America.
