Over the years, celebrities like 50 Cent, Eminem and Dr. Dre have endorsed hip hop jewellery among their peers as well as their fans. Often called "bling" or "ice" in slang, this type of jewellery is flashy and often diamond or crystal-encrusted. These used to cost thousands of dollars, but today you can find them and buy them almost anywhere.

Today, you'll see celebrities decked out in diamond-studded bracelets on their album covers and concert billboards so much so that even their fans wear the same things. These are the most popular kinds of iced-out jewellery to date.

They've also got pimp cups popularized by the rapper named Lil Jon. They aren't exactly jewellery that are worn on the body but are just used as accessories. With these, you can choose 5 letters to be "blinged out" on a glass to spell your name or anything you want written in diamonds.

Watches are also popular among the guys who find the bracelets too feminine. There are lots of replicas out in the market and virtually anyone can get one for an inexpensive price. An example of this is Jacob & Co. These watches have different dials to indicate the times at different places in the world. Of course, all these watches are iced with diamonds and crystals all over the bracelet and face of the watch.

People who are fans of hip hop would wear these kinds of jewellery to show the lifestyle they live. Most of those who wear the bling are men more than women. If they don't find information about these from their friends or on TV, the internet is a great source of information.
