Hip hop pendants - Diamond hip hop pendants jewelry also referred to as "iced out jewelry" or "bling jewelry" arose from the cultural phenomenon of "Hip Hop" or "Rap" music. For most of us except the purists these terms are quite interchangeable so I'll take them to mean the same thing. Hip hop or rap also refers to an attitude and part of this attitude is all about creating the impression of sheer extravagance and success. Out of this emerges the style of diamond hip hop jewelry which is meant to give a very clear, distinct, and unmistakable message to anyone who happens to see or glance at the person wearing the jewelry. Hip hop jewelry is over sized, lavish, and sparkly and incorporates the use of ornate crosses, gambling symbols, skulls, breeds of animals, and many other designs and symbols. Of course these are all encrusted with diamonds of various sizes and shapes. The three basic and most popular ways to get iced up are with hip hop pendants, rings, and diamond studs.

Hip hop pendants have long been the most visible expression of hip hop jewelry because they scale up in size real well and have a huge amount of human real estate to showcase against. They are often seen dangling from heavy white metal rope or link chains all the way down to the navel level. At that length they swish from left to right quite visibly and this never fails to attract attention. Such pendants whether religious symbols or dog tags are usually pave or prong set with diamonds from half pointers to half caraters and more. Often with dog tags of different styles there will be channel set square diamonds that form some of the outer framework of the piece, especially the geometric styles. Pave set round diamonds further flesh out the inner details of the piece and give the piece it's "flash" value. Hip hop diamond rings are smaller in scale than most pendants and dog tags but no less important as showpieces of hip hop style.
