Bling-bling is American slang, but I guess they include both in the Oxford. At least I assume they do.

Jewelry. There's some disagreement over whether it refers to the sound of it bouncing off the wearer's chest or the cartton sound effect of it glinting in the sun. It can refer to wealth too instead of just jewelry.

gutter slang for money or merchandise or business

If you walk into a walmart and the greater says " 'come to da mart holmz... we be glad you come here to drop 'yo bling"

He is saying, "Welcome to Walmart, we appreciate your business"

If you walk into a Jewlery store and the sales hommie says

"Yo, check dis bling-bling", he is saying "please look at our merchandise"

If you get mugged on the street and the guy says "Gimme yo' bling-bling bee-yotch" you are being asked to surrender your money.

I never heard of bling-bling until I played Grand Theft Auto III. Even then, I didn't know what it meant. I think my demographic doesn't intersect with the source of this stuff any more.
