# Fatty-Flavored Jewelry The Bacon Candy Necklace is a Better Choice Than Diamonds By Harris Jay Rosenberg Alterman | Published 2012-03-04 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-candy-necklace References: [incrediblethings](http://www.incrediblethings.com/style-and-gear/bacon-is-a-girls-best-friend/?) & [mcphee](http://www.mcphee.com/shop/products/Bacon-Candy-Necklace.html) The Bacon Candy Necklace is the only piece of jewelry on the planet that is both fashionable and bacon-flavored. This meaty treasure looks like a simple [candy necklace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/misaky-tokyo) but has been enhanced with [bacon flavoring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-label-cinnamon-toast-bacon) added as the top layer. It also has a "bacon medallion" that hangs from the center to let everyone know what in the room smells like bacon. The Bacon Candy Necklace is a much better choice when it comes to a marriage proposal because while girls do love diamonds, no one can resist the flavor of bacon (just make sure she isn't a vegan). The Bacon Candy Necklace can be yours for only three dollars, which is unreal compared to a [diamond ring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brilliant-earth). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 32% | 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Food-inspired Accessories:** There is an opportunity to create unique and quirky accessories inspired by different types of food. - **Alternative Jewelry:** In lieu of traditional jewelry, there may be a growing interest in unconventional and playful options like the Bacon Candy Necklace. - **Gastronomical Fashion:** Fashion that incorporates food items may become increasingly popular as consumers seek more unconventional options. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can create playful and food-inspired jewelry pieces to tap into the growing trend of unconventional fashion. - **Food and Beverage:** Food and beverage companies can collaborate with fashion brands to create unique products and reach a broader audience. - **Giftware:** Giftware companies can add food-inspired accessories and jewelry to their product line to cater to the demand for unconventional and quirky gift options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fast Food-Inspired Premium Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ofishial.md) - [Conversation Candy Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zales-x-sweethearts.md) - [Sour Bacon-Flavored Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sour-punch-bacon-bites.md) - [Breakfast-Themed Gummy Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-eggs-shaped-sweet-gummy-candies.md) - [Sandwich-Based Diamond Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quarter-pound-cod-sandwich.md) - [Candied Bacon QSR Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hardees-candied-bacon.md) - [Bacon-Infused Peanut Brittles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-peanut-brittle.md) - [14k Gold Noodle Necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-macaroni-necklace.md) - [Celebratory Bacon Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-cake.md)
