Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:~~bling_bling_mouse~~bling bling mouse.jpg\|frame\|For the rich and nerdy.]] Line 14: Compare [[Built With Lego]], [[Gold Makes Everything Shiny]], [[Power Crystal]], [[Symbol Motif Clothing]]. ~~Not to be confused with the game ''[[Bejeweled]]''.~~ {{examples}} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * [http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3032/3004525567_3019df8f35_o.jpg This dress] that [[Marie Antoinette]] wore in ''[[Rose of Versailles]]'', which has ermine trim on the dress and cape, where the ermine is studded with jewelry. It's a huge reason it was chosen as the picture for [[Pimped-Out Dress]]. * Quite a few things in ''[[The Five Star Stories]]'', a manga absolutely infamous for its overly fancy [[Humongous Mecha]] that look like they either belong to classical nobility or particularly unsubtle gangsters. Line 26 ⟶ 24: == Film == * Played with in ''[[Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade]]''. The Holy Grail is {{spoiler\|the one NOT [[Gem-Encrusted]]. Thus, "the cup of a carpenter."}} == Literature == * Gahan of Gathol wore a jewel-encrusted harness in the beginning of [[Edgar Rice Burroughs]]'s ''[[John Carter of Mars\|Chessmen of Mars]]''. * The eponymous [[MacGuffin]] of ''[[The Maltese Falcon]]'' is a gem-covered statue of a falcon that was later covered with black enamel to hide its value. * In [[Robert E. Howard]]'s [[Conan the Barbarian]] story "[[The Tower of the Elephant]]" ~~-- the~~—the title tower. Conan (who is young at this point) is rather dazzled by it; only the [[Old Master]] thief Taurus gets him to go on, for the [[Mineral MacGuffin]]. * Smaug the Golden, the famous dragon from ''[[The Hobbit]]'' has his belly covered with precious jewels from lying immobile for years on a mound of treasure, neatly making him (mostly) immune to the standard dragon weak spot. * [[The Hunger Games\|Katniss's]] dress for the interview is described as this, with flame designs. Line 37 ⟶ 35: == [[Live Action Television]] == * Manages to be an important plot point in an episode of ''[[Merlin (TV series)\|Merlin]]'' in which Merlin is suffering from a range of visions that prophesy that Morgana will try to kill the king. One of them is of her unsheathing a [[Gem-Encrusted]] dagger, and it's through Merlin's indirect intervention that Arthur swaps a very plain dagger (that he was originally going to give Morgana for her birthday) with the gem-covered murder weapon from Merlin's vision. == Music == Line 47 ⟶ 45: == [[Professional Wrestling]] == * The [[Professional Wrestling\|WWE Championship]] got a redesign right after [[Wrestlemania]] 20 to fit this due to the title being won by [[Pretty Fly for a White Guy\|John Cena]]. [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/58/WWE_Championship.jpg Take a look.]{{Dead link}} The title has over 3000 diamonds and a [[Everything's Better with Spinning\|spinner]] (that hasn't actually spun since 2007) and is looking tackier and tackier every year. The redesign is probably as big a cause of [[X-Pac Heat]] than Cena himself. * The original blingtastic wrestling title has to be the [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/93/Million_Dollar_Championship.jpg Million Dollar Championship]{{Dead link}}. Gold plated and covered with cubic zirconia, with three real diamonds on the inside, it cost a legitimate $125,000. == [[Video Games]] == Line 56 ⟶ 54: == [[Western Animation]] == * [[The Merch]] for the [[Disney Princess~~\|Disney Princesses~~]]es often have this on their dresses, and even [[Pretty in Mink\|their fur]] [[Pimped-Out Cape\|capes]]. * In ''[[Goldie Gold and Action Jack]]'', Goldie had a diamond encrusted nail clipper. * When ''[[The Simpsons]]'' went to Africa they met a [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]] version of Jane Goodall, who was using the chimps she was ostensibly studying to mine diamonds for her. She had diamonds [[Hidden in Plain Sight]] everywhere, even on the bottoms of her shoes (a [[Shout-Out]] to the song "Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes") Line 67 ⟶ 65: == [[Real Life]] == * [[Cell Phone]] accessories often come this way. In Japan, "[https://web.archive.org/web/20130107094330/http://www.dannychoo.com/post/en/14111/Decoden.html decoden]" ("decorated cellphone") mostly means adding a thick layer of Swarowski crystals and/or [https://web.archive.org/web/20140118120956/http://pingmag.jp/2008/09/18/decoden/ random crud] like fake roses or tiny plastic desserts to your cellphone. Nokia's sister company, Vertu, makes cellphones of this sort. * There is apparently now a [[Real Life]] trend of "Vajazzling"- which is supposedly "bedazzling" one's vagina. But that's a bit of a misnomer, due to the practicalities of doing that to the labia. The gems are actually glued on to the region of skin over the pubic bone.
