Bling!

Superman

hey folks i'm thinkin about getting some bling for xmas and I really need some advice choosing. I was thinkin of maybe a pendant of a star with an eagle bezelled on it, or maybe a small spinner, but it would have to have good smooth spin to it.
A nice medallion would go down a treat with my s-carter's, i'd be the bell of the ball!

I find "bling" kinda tacky, but since you've got s carters i guess like, you wear baggy clothes and whatever. A friend of mine has a pretty long(not too long) chain with a cross on it, looks good with the clothes he wears but if you don't wear baggy skater stuff, bling bling is tacky.
as you will see here

Hope that helps somehow.

Well, get some classy stuff. Avoid the argos catalogue!

A nice watch?

Well yeah, theres a difference between jewellery and "bling". Bling is most certainly not nice!

Mr. Presentable

"Bling" is not "Kinda tacky". It's awful and tasteless. If you must wear jewellery, try silver, plain, without stones etc. A nice watch, whilst boring, is not the worst suggestion.

A gold medallion in the form of the Chinese symbol for "Cliché".

Quality gold/platinum chains look good.

Says the man with a leather trenchcoat!

Seriously though, not trying to insult anyone, it is extremely tacky and tasteless. When I see someone with a gold chain, I don't exactly think to myself "Oh my, how stylish."

well i wouldnt go for a gold chain...maybe a white gold ala platinum kinda look...?doesnt quite have the Del boy look to it...

..however yea go for the bling, each to their own, theirs a guy i know and he pulls it off really well, personaly it aint a turn on at all-but it aint a turn off either, go with the bling and post a pic of what u decide on-id go with the eagle.

And I'm not ashamed to say I once wore black sunglasses and went through a few martial arts moves to boot.

I should be, but I'm not...

ye not trying to insult anyone!!! thats an understatement!
Maybe he finds it nice, just cause you dont.
I pesonally dont like the look but dont come on here and just crititise him for liking that kind of jewelery.
Why are you so judgemental ALL the time?

ferdi

some people can pull bling off, some cant.

superman can.

chizzle dizzle

excately and karl Hungus just comes on here and thinks he can just critise everyone just because he doesn't like it.
Superman wants people to reply by helping him find what he is looking for, not some idiot comming on to crititse him, if he wanted them to, he would have made a request for them to do so.

Not really into the bling look either, but different strokes for different folks, and I used to sell jewellery for my living and bling stuff probably paid most of my wage. If your going for gold, tho, hope you have pots of money as the good stuff isnt cheap. If you buy cheap (Argos et al) it may be hollow and get dented and break in no time.

I only ever wear two items of jewellery at one time and those are a watch and a chain. I don't like gold, silver and platinum are the way to go here. I think the idea is to go fairly minimalist. You want something that compliments you not something that immediately draws the eye. I have a very nice expensive watch that my mother bought me which I wear all the time and I have a nice collection of chains which I'll change depending on my mood and outfit, with the slightly thick silver link for when I just can't be arsed. I wouldn't call it bling and it certainly (imo) doesn't look tacky. a favourite of mine is my silver chain with the small dogtag like rectangular pieces of silver hanging off with a single diamond stud in the centre of it. Minimalist yet aesthetic. My advice is to stay away from gold stereotypes and go for something small with personality.

Karl Hungus

Sorry, Chizzle Dizzle, but is the concept of an opinion that alien to you? And further more, is the concept of a discussion board even more so far removed than that?

Also, does your concept of discussion extended further than calling people idiots?

The mind boggles.

Maybe I'm wrong in this respect, when I take it that when someone puts up a thread, they are looking for feedback on that particular topic? Maybe they actually mean "AGREE WITH ME OR **** OFF!" and I'm just getting confused?

L!aM

Well in fairness, the boy was asking for advice on what to get and you had no advice to give.

Karl Hungus

My advice is "Don't bother"

chizzle dizzle

Well he wants advice and thats the whole point of this thread. If you dont have anything constructive to say other than "I dont like it" well then just go to some other thread........ please!! this thread is not a discussion thread by the way, it is a person seeking advice thread, you know the type when people start a thread asking poeple to HELP them.
Does your consept of giving people advice extend further than "dont bother" or "I dont like it"

I am literally stupified by this post.

Honest to god, I just don't know where to begin!
By your own definition, this is a thread about someone looking for advice, yet you offer no advice to the person or anything constructive to say, so why the hell did you even post in the first place!? WHY!? It really does boggle the mind.

I have offered my honest opinion on this subject.
But you come in here, you don't post anything relevant to the thread at all, you don't give any advice to the person who started it, you don't offer any opinion whatsoever, yet you call me an IDIOT, drag the thread completely off-topic, and then you have the audacity to claim the moral high ground on this and tell me that if I don't have anything constructive to say, I should post elsewhere!?

Can someone explain else Chizzle Dizzle's reasoning behind this?
It's incomprehensible to the point of trolling.

I gave a search for possible bling items you could purchase and found this.. "the bling bling king apparently". How bout those glasses :P

To mad for us,to mad

I find "bling" really over done lately,I don't mind a watch or a thin chain but when It gets to a point when you have a huge clock made of gold and silver hanging from your neck,on a really thick chain thats when it goes over board tbh.

It's tough enough to buy jewlery. The Children of Lir range is very tasteful but mostly with pendants I only find it nice if thought is placed into it.
