blinged

Dripping with diamonds

Blinged is the past tense of bling, meaning decorated with flashy jewelry or shiny ornamentation.

Something blinged out or blinged up has been made ostentatiously glamorous: She blinged out her phone case with rhinestones.

The word comes from hip-hop slang, where bling represents the imagined sound of light glinting off diamonds or gold.
