# Concrete Architectural Jewelry Form Matters is Comprised of Geometrical and Industrial Accessories By Meghan Young | Published 2015-01-26 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/architectural-jewelry References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/form-matters-wearable-concrete-jewelry/) The architectural jewelry of Liani Douglas, brings industrial elements to people's wardrobes. Made with contemporary individuals in mind, the pieces are severe yet artistic, which brings an abstract air to fashionable looks. This is due not only to the material used to make the architectural jewelry, but the sharp geometric shapes they take on as well. Crafted out of concrete, the architectural jewelry also employs hand-cut brass plates as a great finishing touch to each design. Although the pieces might not look that comfortable to wear, they bring a different type of texture not often used when it comes to chunky arm candy. The unique designs are especially perfect for minimalist styles. The architectural jewelry collection is dubbed Form Matters and was created for Douglas & Company. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Geometric Accessories:** There is an opportunity to create more accessories with sharp geometric shapes. - **Industrial Fashion:** The use of industrial elements in fashion can be explored more to bring a unique and fresh perspective. - **Concrete Jewelry:** Concrete can be utilized more in jewelry-making to provide a new and alternative material for accessories. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Accessories:** The fashion accessories industry can experiment with new materials such as brass to create unique designs. - **Jewelry:** The jewelry industry has an opportunity to incorporate more industrial materials into their designs. - **Concrete Manufacturing:** The concrete manufacturing industry can explore new markets such as the jewelry industry to increase sales. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wearable Sculptural Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dtcable-collection.md) - [Geometric Jewelry Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nikos-koulis-boutique.md) - [Consciously Cool Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment.md) - [Handcrafted Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird.md) - [Stunning Organic-Inspired Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organicinspired-jewelry.md) - [Jewelry-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/through-chrome-reflections.md) - [Utilitarian Design Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dpartment.md) - [Brutalist-Inspired Sleek Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b1.md) - [Bread-Encrusted Gemstone Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rising-collection.md)
