Invert Jewelry is Adorned for the Pleasure of the Wearer and No Observer

— August 2, 2012 — Fashion
Why do you accessorize? If it's for the pure pleasure you derive from your own possessions, the Invert jewelry collection might be just for you. Alternatively, perhaps an owner of such unusual pieces is more interested in making a statement about shallow popularity of material things.

Either way, this assortment of rings, necklaces and earrings is beautiful and avant-garde in the way that it expresses the industrial beauty of its forged metal. One might not even realize at first that there are princess cut diamonds embedded in each of Melany Wimpee's pieces.

The settings for the lustrous stones are arranged opposite to the convention. Every example of Invert jewelry is embellished on the inside or the back so that a view of the gems is nearly impossible. Only the wearer might know that they're there.
Trend Themes
1. Industrial-beauty Jewelry - Opportunity for creating avant-garde jewelry pieces that showcase the industrial beauty of forged metal.
2. Hidden Gemstones - Innovation in jewelry design by embedding precious gemstones on the inside or the back of pieces, creating a hidden treasure for the wearer.
3. Anti-materialism Accessories - Designing accessories that make a statement against the shallow popularity of material things, appealing to individuals who prioritize personal pleasure over public display.
Industry Implications
1. Fine Jewelry - Disruption opportunity for fine jewelry brands to create unique and unconventional pieces that deviate from traditional designs.
2. Fashion Accessories - Innovation potential for fashion accessory brands to incorporate hidden gemstones or industrial beauty elements into their designs, providing a new level of exclusivity.
3. Luxury Goods - Opportunity for luxury brands to tap into the anti-materialism trend by offering accessories that emphasize personal enjoyment and authenticity rather than external validation of wealth.
