The word bling can be used to describe bright, shiny,
or flashy jewelry. The term began with rappers, probably beginning in the
1960s, although more so in the 1980s. Some believe it originated with the
Ultrabrite toothpaste commercial which portrayed brightness of brushed teeeth
with a visible flash and a bling sound. Other historians trace it back to the
admiration for bright jewelry in gold producing areas of West Africa. Today it
is still used to describe exciting attractive jewelry.
