# Sweet Statement Necklaces Andie's Speciality Sweets are a Fashionable Treat By Carly Foy | Published 2011-06-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andies-speciality-sweets References: [cakeyperry.wordpress](http://cakeyperry.wordpress.com/2011/06/07/edible-candy-necklace/) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/71965981/edible-candy-necklace?ref=pr_shop) Andie’s Speciality Sweets is an [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dropshop) boutique that has re-made your typical [candy necklace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mademoiselle-jules) into more elaborate pieces. The pieces are a nice modern take on the traditional child's treat. Instead of just candy beads, Andie's works the candy into flowers, keys, buttons and more, relying on ribbons to hold the necklace together. Each piece is attached through royal icing and can be worn and consumed. These necklaces are the perfect give away gift for soirees. Andie's Specialty Sweets also includes other sugar pieces such as buttons and nature-like [sugar confections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-charcuterie-tray-line). The Etsy boutique prides themselves on their elaborate sugar work and states that "Our goal is not just a pretty edible, not just a palatable one either, but one that is visually and tastefully pleasurable in all aspects." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/jewelry) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Fashionable Candy:** Opportunities for creating high-end candy jewelry as fashion accessories. - **Edible Party Favors:** Opportunities for creating customized edible party favors for weddings, showers, and events using unique techniques. - **Artisanal Sugar Work:** Opportunities for creating new and unique sugar ornaments for cakes and confections using artistic skills. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion & Accessories:** This industry can benefit from incorporating new product lines of candy jewelry to cater to the fashion-forward and innovative consumer. - **Event Planning & Catering:** This industry can improve their portfolio by incorporating Andie's Specialty Sweets creativity into their edible party favors and snacks. - **Bakery & Pastry:** This industry can team up with Andie's Specialty Sweets and others to create new, artistic sugar work on cakes, cookies, and confections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Conversation Candy Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zales-x-sweethearts.md) - [Jewelry-Revealing Rock Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mschf-4.md) - [Luxe Cotton Candy Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-of-sucre.md) - [Treat-Inspired Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jenny-lemons-x-magnolia-bakery.md) - [Crystal Seaweed Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/misaky-tokyo.md) - [Y2K-Inspired Flower Necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foufou.md) - [Collaborative Ice Cream Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iconic-ice-cream.md) - [Sweet Charcuterie Gift Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-charcuterie-tray-line.md) - [Candy-Inspired Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-lips.md)
