Bling King

Back in the day hip-hop MCs wore big rope chains that hung like sausage links around their necks. This was the inception of what is known today as bling...and even though there were not many diamonds, there was plenty of gold hanging from the arms, necks, and fingers of the hip hop elite.
This trend even spilled over into mainstream...as Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City could be seen sporting her "ghetto gold"...ghetto as in urban and street inspired...not necessarily as in poor neighborhoods, poverty, and high rise tenements.

That said, American Apparel now has a line of hip hop inspired gold plated jewelry that will work great with the bold colors and fun looks this spring.
This bracelet:



is my fave piece, with its bold and large stance. Starting at just $20, this is the place to get all your creative links.
