Replica hip hop jewelry is perhaps the fastest growing trend in hip hop culture. With new manufacturers investing heavily in new designs and technology to produce the best looking stuff, customers are reaping all of the rewards. Here are 10 reasons why replica hip hop jewelry is better than genuine jewelry hands down.

1. Cost – You can actually afford replica hip hop jewelry. Not only is genuine hip hop jewelry a rip off, but most people can’t ever afford something with so many zeros on the price tag.
2. Availability – Replica hip hop jewelry is readily available through online retailers. Genuine hip hop jewelry is often times custom made and that can take weeks, or even months to complete.
3. Resale Value – True, genuine hip hop jewelry may have a higher percentage of resale value, but the money you lose in far greater than replica. For instance if you buy a $5000 diamond chain and sell it for $4000 used, you used $1000. If you buy a $50 replica version then sell it used for $25, you only lost $25.
4. Selection – with replica hip hop jewelry, you can keep a large selection of jewelry for different occasions and moods. Its affordable enough so that you can actually buy 3 pendants for your chain rather than blowing your money on 1 piece.
5. Safer – Would you rather keep a $5000 piece of hip hop jewelry in your bedroom or a $50 replica? Enough said.
6. Quality – replica hip hop jewelry is becoming so high quality, it is rivaling the quality of some real jewelry. Higher end replica hip hop jewelry is made with brass, thick plating, strong settings and high quality stones.
7. Better Look – Top quality real diamonds cost a lot. VVS quality stones can cost you up to thousands of dollars just for the stones themselves. Cheaper genuine diamonds shine poorly and are very cloudy. Clear, crisp and white diamond simulates are used on replica hip hop jewelry. Every stone looks perfectly clear and shines brightly.
8. Metals – replica hip hop jewelry is made of high quality base metals and are plated with precious metals, so they are not susceptible to fluctuating costs of precious metals. Gold and platinum are so expensive that it may cost you twice as much now to buy the same chain you saw 10 years ago.
9. Nobody Knows – Why buy the real deal when replica hip hop jewelry is so realistic nowadays? No one will know unless you tell them its not real.
10. Its Smarter – no explanation needed.

There you have it folks. That is 10 great reasons why purchasing replica hip hop jewelry is much better than buying the real stuff. Check out hiphopbling.com today to see one of the web’s largest collection of hip hop jewelry at the best prices around.

Hip hop jewelry and fashion knows no boundaries. No color is too bright, no shapes are too crazy. When it comes to jewelry, there is no such thing as enough. That is evident in music videos and music award ceremonies like the Grammys. The jewelry is getting bigger and flashier, and jewelers are being forced to come up with creative designs. For stars with unlimited budgets, owning and wearing these over the top pieces of jewelry is easy, but for everyday hip hop fans, owning such extravagant pieces is nearly impossible. The good news is you got leaders in replica iced out jewelry, such as hiphopbling.com who is always on top of the trends.

Another Hot Piece

Just as jewelers push the limits, bling factories are also turning on their afterburners and coming up with the craziest items. Just released is the 8 row iced out chain. If you thought 4 row chains were crazy, how about double the stones, double the size and double the bling. These colossal 30 inch chains are not for the faint of heart. They feature a mind blowing 8 rows of high quality diamond simulate stones. This is perhaps the largest iced out chain to ever be released. It is as thick as a belt! These are the same high quality and not to mention expensive chains seen on celebrities such as fabolous, Nelly and other hip hop multi millionaires.

The stones are each individually set and aligned perfectly. This creates a shine that is noticeable from great distances. There are a total of about 1000 stones on these chains. The stones glisten and shine from nearly any angle. They produce a multi colored shine which is very similar to diamonds. Cheaper version iced out chains are made with plastic-like stones which has a single color white glow, rather than a deep faceted shine. In addition to being incredibly beautiful and a great piece to wear on special occasions or keep as a collectors item, they are also very durable. The base metal is heavy and solid, creating a substantial feel. It is coated with pure sterling silver or 24k gold. The finish is nearly identical to solid white or yellow gold iced out chains. The finish is designed to last for many years with proper care.

Order your 8 row iced out chain today. They are available for a limited time exclusively through on line retailer hip hop bling, who also feature a wide selection of all kinds of hip hop jewelry.

There hasn’t been anything exciting in the watch industry in a while. Most designs introduced by the mainstream watch companies are traditional designs with a slight twist to add a modern appeal. Even in hip hop fashion, iced out watch designs have remained relatively similar during the past few years. Its either a 5 timezone watch or a metal band watch completely covered in stones. While those watches are nice, you can’t help but to feel that they are getting kind of boring. There really hasn’t been any drastically new watch design until now. The iced out watches known as circus watches are gorgeous new styles that are a perfect fit for today’s retro style hip hop jewelry fashions.

Unique Design

The base design that the watches were developed from are the famous 5 timezone watches released by Jacob and Co. a few years ago. While those watches were unique at the time, they are fairly common nowadays as replicas flood the market and other manufacturers are releasing similar styles. The 5 timezone iced out watch was a perfect canvas to create something new and exciting.

The most noticeably stunning aspect of these watches are the unique dials. Inspired by visually appealing abstract art, these dials feature gorgeous geometric shapes overlapping one another in bright elaborate colors. The pastel finishes gives the watch a personalized and unique feel, as rare as one’s personality. The dials are a tribute to hip hop culture, resembling brightly colored clothing of hip hop’s past and the urban graffiti scene. The bright colors are complimented by high quality replica diamond stones, which are hand set to perfection throughout the specially designed cases. The genuine leather bands feature unique crocodile patterns and bright colorful finishes to match the dial. Some come with silicone bands similar to swiss watches.

Aside from great looks, the circus five timezone watches are truly high quality timepieces by their own right. Each case is made of quality 440 grade stainless steel, covered with a scratch resistant mineral glass crystal. The bands are top quality genuine leather and silicone bands. The inside of the stainless steel or gunmetal finished cases houses a genuine Japanese movement, providing you a precise and reliable timekeeping mechanism.

Where to Purchase

These circus watches are available through Internet hip hop jewelry retailers such as hiphopbling.com. This company carries a full line of iced out watches and other hip hop jewelry including grillz, iced out pendants, chains and rings totaling over 1500 products in stock for immediate shipment. They are the first company to release the circus watches with full authorization from the manufacturers.

Iced out watches are some of our best sellers. We’ve built our reputation as the leader in iced out watches because we put quality first. When buying a watch on the internet, it’s hard to get an idea of the quality because you can only go by a picture. That is why many online bling retailers sell lower quality watches with a higher markup. You can’t really tell the difference in photos, but you definitely notice the quality when you’re holding a cheap bling watch and a high quality hip hop watch in person. Now it’s our turn to expose the secrets the other guys don’t want you to know. Here is how to tell quality bling watches from the cheap stuff.

Stones

This is the big tell of whether or not you’re getting a nice watch. All watches are set with quality stones that sparkle nicely. They are carefully set onto the watch and dial. On cheaper watches, the stones are poorly cut plastic-like material that is carelessly glued onto the watch. The dial usually uses glitter, to give the appearance of stones.

Movement

This one is hard to notice, but our watches come with quality Japanese movements. Cheap bling watches use low quality Chinese fakes that don’t last very long. Our watches not only look great, but they work for a very long time.

Metal

There are two types of metals used on watches. One is a cheap sludge metal that looks like steel but poorly plated. Another is a quality alloy metal with quality plating that looks like platinum. Another is genuine stainless steel. Our regular watches have a brass core or quality alloy. Our real diamond watch cases are made out of solid stainless steel. This ensures a solid, heavy base that can stand years of wear and tear.

Weight

Because cheaper watches are made with lesser quality materials, they are usually very light. Again you cannot notice this in pictures, which is why its easy to get scammed online. Our watches have a solid, heavy feel so you don’t get embarrassed when you take off the watch.

This is what sets our iced out watches apart from the crowd. We try to take detailed pictures so you can see the smaller details. Hiphopbling.com’s reputation ensures that you will be receiving a high quality watch and not the cheaper low quality stuff you see on mall carts or small retail stores.

Our universal fitting hip hop grillz have been big sellers for a few years now. Just about every single type of grill has been selling like hot cakes, but we wanted to take a moment to reintroduce you to some of the best quality products that we offer. The sterling silver grillz collection feature extremely gorgeous designs made with higher quality materials than our basic line and even the premium line. These grillz are made in factories that specialize in genuine fine jewelry. They are made in genuine sterling silver and high quality diamond simulates that are hand set onto the fronts. They use the same silicone mold in the back to assure a universal fit.

Why Sterling Silver

Sterling silver is a precious metal that has taken off in recent years. The desirability of this metal is through the roof and prices have followed. What makes sterling silver desirable is the fact that it’s got the best of both worlds. The high luster white metal has the same look as white gold, yet it is relatively inexpensive. It is a solid metal so there’s no way it will fade or chip. Sterling silver is 92.5% silver and it is alloyed with other metals to give it strength. If you want “real” bling jewelry, yet you don’t want to pay an arm and a leg, sterling silver products are the best for you.

The sterling silver metal also allows for a more crisp clean finish on all products, especially grillz. The metal is easier to work with so more precise details can be achieved. The stones that are set onto the metal usually looks better than when they are set on cheaper base metals because they can be aligned better, creating a uniform look. This is why the sterling silver grillz look and feel as though they were made from white gold or platinum. The same process is used to make it, just with silver instead of overpriced gold or platinum.

The best seller is the plain non iced sterling silver grillz. These grillz are perfect for any occasion. It’s not flashy with all the stones, but it definitely makes a statement with its ultra shiny, full polished surface. This is great for those who just want a nice clean look. Of course, we carry the highly detailed, over the top iced out versions of sterling silver grillz as well. Many hot sellers are the multi colored stone versions which feature ruby like red stones, sapphire like blue stones and more.

We usually sell our pendants with chains because we want you to be able to wear it the moment it gets in the mail. However, many of you have asked us to release a line of chains by themselves. That’s understandable. Perhaps you want to wear a chain by itself, without a pendant. That’s a very popular option nowadays if you just want a nice clean look. Or you want to choose the specific chain you want to go with your pendant. Then you can sell the free chain that came with the pendant to a friend or use it as a spare chain. That is exactly what we have now released a line of hip hop chains.

What is a hip hop chain?

Since we always talk about hip hop chains around here, you may be wondering what a hip hop chain is exactly. Hip hop chains got popular around the late 90s. They are basically very unique chains that focus on thickness rather than width. Before that time people only cared about how wide a chain is. The wider it was, the bigger it looked. But those chains didn’t work well with pendants because they were, well, too wide. Hip hop chains are thick and feature very unique links. They are often referred to as bullet chains because each link resembles the shape of a bullet. They are highly detailed and very rare, which is why many people like them. Its not the typical chain you can find at any old jewelry store.

Quality Chains

Our hiphop chains are the best quality around. Besides shelling out thousands of bucks for gold or platinum versions, this is the best way to get a nice clean chain that also impresses all your friends. Our chains are made with high quality, heavy jeweler’s base metal which is then coated with thick layers of genuine 24k gold or sterling silver. Both are hand polished to perfection to give it the shine and finish of the real deal. Our chains look and feel like genuine gold chains, without the high cost. The best seller bar none is the franco style chains. These 3d looking chains are very popular among rappers right now and they can cost up to thousands of dollars in 14k gold. This is because a lot of metal is used. It is a very popular chain among hip hop stars.

Selection

We are constantly striving to provide a large selection of high quality chains, however we don’t simply offer tons of styles because we hand pick the best designs. Some designs are simply not durable. They may look nice and intricate, but there is no point if you can’t wear it for a long time. Some chains may even hurt your neck. So here at hip hop bling, we take pride in offering a good selection of great chains. Check out our hip hop chains section today.

NBA basketball stars can be seen wearing iced out jewelry all the time. Just look at Allen Iverson.

When hip hop bling first started out, we had some very popular iced out watch and bracelet combo sets. These weren’t the cheap inferior stuff you see in a cheap looking box at the mall or the sets being sold for under $60 on other sites. Our watches were completely iced out, meaning there were tons of stones, often times over 1000 of them. The other guys will probably use 300 or so. Ours sold out like crazy, and at the time we couldn’t stock them fast enough. Times have changed, technology has gotten better and we’ve decided to bring back the classic designs that made our site the best spot for hip hop watches to begin with.
