The Newest Fashion Trend in Hip Hop Jewelry

The hip hop jewelry industry has always been known for it’s innovation in jewelry, sometimes good and other times bad. However, the newest fashion trend is starting to catch on and that trend is the custom belt buckle.

Custom belt buckles are simply a belt buckle that allows the person wearing it to customize it to their own taste. There are two very popular forms of custom belt buckles and they are custom name plate buckles and LED scrolling text belt buckles.

Custom name plate belt buckles allow a person to pick out several letters that they want to appear on their buckle. They can choose to display their name, their initials or any other message they would like. These belt buckles are becoming very popular and are being worn by an increasing number of celebrities. The most popular form of these custom name plate belt buckles is the iced out version in which the buckle is lined with stones in order to give it that "bling" look. 



LED scrolling text belt buckles have become extremely popular and are being worn by more and more people. The LED belt buckle is a small rectangular buckle which has a LED screen built into it. The person wearing the buckle can then input any message that they desire and can have it scroll across the LED screen. These LED scrolling text belt buckles usually let the users input up to 8 different messages and can be programmed to either scroll the text or blink the text on the screen. The scrolling text belt buckles can also be bought with an iced out buckle frame and are one of the most popular hip hop jewelry items on the market right now. 


Hip Hop jewelry is always pushing the envelope on fashion trends and often goes too far. But the newest trend of custom belt buckles seems to have become very popular and is one of the most often bought pieces of iced out jewelry. The LED belt buckles and custom name plate belt buckles appear to be here to stay.
