# $150,000 Canes Ari Soffer Creates Skull and Diamond Walking Sticks By Rachel | Published 2009-06-06 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ari-soffer-cane References: [luxist](http://www.luxist.com/2009/06/04/diamond-loving-designer-creates-150-000-cane/) & [saleather](http://www.saleather.com/) Ari Soffer will bling out anything from pants to pillows, motorcycles and now canes. He has created a $150,000 diamond and ruby skull cane. The Ari Soffer cane will be on exhibit at the designer's new store, which opened June 4 in Los Angeles. Despite the recession, the designer hopes more people will be interested in things like [diamond, ruby and skull canes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tequila-diamond). I always thought that was a lacking market. **Implications** - Ari Soffer's cane completely envelopes the diamond, ruby and skull market and establishes itself as an item that is as beautiful as it is novel. I don't know who would purchase the six-figure cane, but I think it would be the most amazing accessory for some [rapper to hold](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pav-nite) in a music video. I wonder if they do rentals. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **$150,000 Canes:** Custom luxury walking canes with unique designs. - **Diamond and Ruby Accessories:** Incorporating precious stones and metals into custom luxury accessories such as canes and jewelry. - **Novelty Luxury Items:** Creating unique and extravagant luxury items for affluent and eclectic customers. ### Where This Applies - **Luxury Goods:** Innovating and expanding the luxury goods market with new and unique products. - **Jewelry:** Incorporating precious and semi-precious stones and metals into innovative jewelry designs. - **Entertainment:** Providing unique and extravagant accessories for music videos, photo shoots, and other entertainment media. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adaptive Mobility Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/streamline-cane.md) - [Connected Walking Canes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/can-go.md) - [Blinged-Out Smart Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asap-rocky-1.md) - [Smart Walking Canes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/can-go-smart-came.md) - [Mobility-Boosting Cane Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nextstride.md) - [Ultra-Luxurious Pet Collars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-jewelry1.md) - [Haute Diamond-Studded Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loewe-and-jacob-co.md) - [Automated Adjustment Walking Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halo-smart-cane.md) - [Rapper Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pav-nite.md)
