Sensuous Textured Rings

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Liud Rings Come with Richly Textured Interiors

— February 23, 2017 — Fashion
Most rings, and indeed most jewelry, are meant to prioritize visual aesthetics for those looking at them, but the Liud Rings opt to focus on a different aesthetic sense. To the outside observers, the rings look like simple, minimal accessories, but they hide complex, sensuous textures on the inside edge.

Liud Rings are designed to engender what the company refers to as "textural memories." The interiors of the various rings are molded in such a way that their tactility is reminiscent of some natural phenomenon. For instance, the Canya & Canio ring has the texture of the wall of a canyon, while the Scalet & Scalpa ring's interior is modeled after pangolin scales.

There are six different tactile styles, and each of these types comes in either silver or bronze.
Trend Themes
1. Textural Memories - Rings and jewelry that prioritize tactile aesthetics and create textural memories for wearers.
2. Hidden Sensuous Textures - Designing accessories with minimal exteriors but richly textured interiors for a surprising tactile experience.
3. Nature-inspired Tactility - Exploring the use of natural phenomenon textures in jewelry to evoke sensory connections with the environment.
Industry Implications
1. Jewelry - Opportunity for jewelry brands to incorporate hidden textured features that enhance wearers' tactile experience.
2. Luxury Fashion - Disruptive innovation lies in incorporating unexpected tactile elements in luxury fashion accessories, such as richly textured interiors.
3. Product Design - Trending towards the inclusion of hidden and surprising textural experiences in various products to enhance overall user satisfaction.
