World's bling reserves will run out by 2035

THE world's reserves of bling could run out by 2035, according to a shock report released today.

The study by the Global Conservation Trust suggests that if the mining of gold rings and gaudy chains continues at its current rate, supplies of bling will fall by 35% in the next seven years alone.

Professor Connor Lewitsky, from the GCT, said: “We have to act now, unless we want our grandchildren to have to turn to the internet to find out what a tasteless metal accessory looks like.”

Professor Lewitsky also warned we could soon see similar scenes to the 2008 bling supplier strike, which only ended when Ron Atkinson and 50 Cent kidnapped several world leaders and threatened to execute them live on television unless the strike was broken.
