   Iced Out Jewelry: From Fad to Mainstream

Iced out jewelry has always been very popular in the rap community and with pro athletes and this was mainly due to the cost of such jewelry. However, in recent years the "bling" has moved its way into the general public and worldwide. More and more people are staring to wear iced out jewelry and the costs are falling very rapidly.

Jewelry that is covered in diamonds and made of rare metals is what most people refer to as "iced out". This type of jewelry has also often been referred to as "bling bling" or just simply "ice". A few of the most popular types of iced out jewelry are; grillz, watches, pendants, necklaces and bracelets. These items usually run in the thousands of dollars but recently companies have begun selling replica hip hop jewelry which in most cases costs less than $100.

One of the most popular pieces of ice out jewelry is the teeth grills. Grills, or grillz, are caps or fittings worn over ones teeth. Recently, pop star Brooke Hogan wore a pair of grillz in her music video for her song "About Us". A set of gold grillz is also a favorite jewelry item of the Cincinnati Bengal football player Chad Johnson. Johnson can often be seen with his gold removable grill while on the football field.

Another popular iced out jewelry item is the hip hop watch. Watches have always been a status symbol of the rich and famous but now almost anyone can have their own version of a hip hop watch for under $30, albeit with fake diamonds and no platinum. Either way, almost anyone can show off their bling with a realistic looking iced out watch.

Iced out pendants and necklaces are also among the list of vastly popular hip hop jewelry. Pendants are items that hang from a necklace and come in a variety of shapes and sized. The most popular iced out pendant is the spinner which was made famous by members of the rap group G-Unit, more specifically rapper 50 Cent. A spinner pendant is worn around the neck and had a piece of metal on it that can be spun in a circle and continues to spin for several minutes. The spinner pendant also has numerous replicas that can be bought from under $25.

Iced out jewelry has officially come to the mainstream with the advent of hip hop replica jewelry. What was once only for the rich is now attainable for people of all incomes and location. Don't be surprised if the next time you are walking through the grocery store you notice someone wearing iced out jewelry.
