Hip hop jewelry

Hip hop jewelry has been in existence before the 1980s. It has its roots in the hip hop cultural movement which started with African-American and Hispanic inner-city kids in New York. Bling bling, hip hop, rap, break dance, beat boxing, rhythmic beat are some of the names that are associated with this culture.

Hip hop jewelry and accessories are usually oversize, made from precious metals such as diamond, gold and platinum. Gold chains are heavy and lengthy with larger than normal pendants. This type of jewelry is usually large and elaborate as seen in this hip hop jewelry awards video.
