Hip Hop Jewelry is new form of jewelry styling that is taking the nation and even the world by storm. With big, bold and courageous designs, hip hop jewelry adds a new element to jewelry making and utilizes all the skills of the most passionate jewelers. Because of their big and over the top design, hip hop jewelry was limited to a select few, namely the rich and famous for many years. However, due to ever increasing prices in gold, platinum and diamonds, jewelers were forced to develop innovative means of creating affordable jewelry. Thanks to many breakthroughs in the industry, hip hop jewelry is now available to the masses.

The Origin of Hip Hop Jewelry

Hip hop jewelry originated with the emergence of hip hop as a global force. In the early 80s, rappers such as run DMC, LL Cool J, and Slick Rick began to dominate local airwaves and suddenly they started gaining fans from all walks of life. Along with fans came record sales, and with record sales came money, lots of it. Because many rappers came from humble beginnings, buying hip hop jewelry was like obtaining a symbol of success. Jewelry has always been a status symbol, but with rappers, basic jewelry wasnяПНt enough. Because hip hop jewelry meant so much as a reminder of how far they came along, they wanted everyone to know. This started the trend of large, over the top iced out jewelry such as jumbo dookie rope chains, huge three and four finger gold rings, gold watches, gold teeth and more. Hip hop jewelry is not big and loud just for the sake of showing off; itяПНs rather a symbol of the journey one had to endure to reach the point of success and itяПНs meant to let others know of your accomplishments.
