Hip Hop Jewelry Lends Style To One's Ensemble   By: chesterton evans
Hip hop originally started in the Bronx in the '70s. All the first guys were doing was making a personal statement about their music. They were after a sound that would keep the people moving. And so it developed with DJs 'toasting' music and generally mixing Latin, Caribbean and Afro American beats to produce a distinctive sound. Hip hop culture has really taken off and there are kids who espouse Hip-hop in all places around the world, from the street of Shinjuku in Tokyo to down town Cape Town, It certainly was from this movement that saw the development of Rap and rappers. The Jamaican practice of 'toasting' music which meant reciting poetry and words over the music was the antecedent of rap. And Rap is Huge. Another development of hip-hop was break dancing. People would develop their own distinctive dance routines and would demonstrate these on the street or in parks. Wherever they could gather an audience as what is the point of the moves if no one else sees them. Movies such as 'Flashdance' and 'Dirty Dancing' were the antecedents. Break dancing itself is no longer so revolutionary but street dancing is still very popular and there are many off shoots. Movies such as 'Step up' and its sequels are but a manifestation of the fact that hip-hop culture is alive and kicking. Although some moves were gang rivalry related most were a way for teenagers to get away from gang violence and dance instead. Essentially it was also away for the coloured folk to express themselves. Hip hop culture became a way of life for minorities. At that stage the black and Hispanics in the US were pretty suppressed and embracing hip-hop culture gave them an independent identity. From this music scene Bling-bling developed, with the successful DJs and other hip hoppers and rappers wearing large flashy and ostentatious jewelry, like big neck pendants, bracelets, and gold chains. This fashion has permeated through to their cars and clothing which took on a very flamboyant look. Initially wearing bling-bling was very much a black fashion and was seen on the so called 'gangsta rappers' And so it is today. Hip Hop Jewelry is now highly fashionable and is not confined to Afro American Rappers and gangsters but, like hip hop itself, is now part of the mainstream of life worldwide. If one looks through the pages of any fashion magazine one sees many examples of large brooches and bracelets and the like being worn by celebrities, fashion models and of course by ordinary people on the street. Much of the early hip hop jewelry was either wildly expensive, being lots of diamond (ice) chips embedded in the piece or was cheap and tatty. Nowadays there is a large selection of hip hop jewelry on the market which is neither, being well made and robust but not being outrageously expensive either. One can readily purchase well made bling jewelry that will withstand the demands of fashion and look good for years to come. Growing out of the hip hop movement of the '70s, bling bling jewellery is a statement on its own.(read entire article)

More and different designers are always making a splash and new clothing ranges bombard the fashion magazines and catwalks of the world. But few people have the budget or the inclination to always be keeping up with the latest fashion trends. The best way to remain fashionable for most people is to buy some stock standard items that never go out of fashion, like denim jeans for example, and regular tops, T shirts and similar and the increase there wear ability by accessorising them. All sort of accessories are available. Hats come and go in fashion. In many cold climates hats are essential for keeping the head warm, in other climates they are required to protect the face from the sun. Even now in Texas most people wear wide brimmed hats when outdoors. In Victorian and Edwardian times hats were always worn, nowadays they are an accessory that most people can take or leave. We see many people who always wear Baseball caps; these are mostly just an accessory to whatever the guy was wearing rather than being a functional necessity. Scarves and gloves were functional accessories that always have their place. In colder climes the scarf, especially if made of a fine wool such as cashmere are light and an effective way of keeping the neck warm, Gloves are essential as the blood circulation to the fingers is not the best and the digits will rapidly freeze if exposed. But in fashion a scarf is similarly an accessory item and light cotton gloves are often worn to show refinement. Shoes and boots, especially for women are high fashion items. They may, and usually are, things of beauty. Names like Jimmy Choo reverberate around the fashion world and rapidly become benchmarks for the outré fashionable. Who can forget the scenes from 'The Devil wears Prada' when these she first gets herself dressed up with high fashion items nor the scenes of ecstasy when she hands out presents to her friends at the dinner party. All of those items were fashion accessories and so it is with jewelry. Hip Hop Jewelry is a whole large and very extensive range of medium priced but well made accessories that may be used for years to come. The full bling-bling brooches and iced out jewelry may not be to everybody's taste but there are large ranges of somewhat more subdued and reasonably priced jewelry as accessories available for purchase. The wearing of a brooch, a bracelet or a necklace will often just lift the items of clothing from being just something worn into becoming a fashion statement. This often applies to men as well. Nowadays many men wear items of jewelry as an addition to their normal dress.(read entire article)
