As an attempt to invigorate the very concept of accessorizing, brands have been looking to banal objects as a source of inspiration to make new jewelry products that have a "je ne sais quoi" and often, an uncanny quality. This whimsical aesthetic is reflective of modern designs that consumers can identify with.
