A 'Bling-bling' (usually shortened to simply 'bling') is a hip hop slang term which refers to expensive jewelry and other accoutrements, and also to an entire lifestyle built around excess spending and ostentation.
In its essence, the term 'bling' refers to the exterior manifestation of one's interior state of character, normally displayed through various forms of visual stimuli.

Its pretty much been covered by those who have alrready answered. Bling is big, shiny, expensive jewelry to show how rich and cool you are. But I do have one thing to add to the discussion, bling got its name becuase of the sound it makes when seveal of your pieces knock into eachother making the "bling, bling" sound.

Anything that is shiny with diamonds. lots of diamonds. Bling is a symbol of status. Especially in the Urban/hip hop community. The more "bling" you sport, the higher your status financially.

Over here "Bling" is a collection-name for shiny objects, like e.g. silver miniatures, and jewelry with diamonds or brilliant in them.
(of course you have to have quite a few of them to call it "Bling")
As far as I understand "Bling" can also be the shiny, more or less tacky objects.
