# Cement Jewelry Beat Poet Concrete Rings Are Made of Reclaimed Components By Katie Cordrey | Published 2010-11-28 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beat-poet-concrete-rings References: [coolmaterial](http://coolmaterial.com/style/beat-poet-concrete-rings/) & [beatpoet.net](http://beatpoet.net/store/index.php?p=catalog&mode=search&search_in=all&search_str=concrete) Beat Poet concrete rings are an awesome use of reclaimed cement that is cast onto [stainless steel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-metal-jewellery-reformation-x-clair-waight-keller-create-a-limited). Rings are made unique as they are worn, chipped, bumped and otherwise 'personalized' by the wearer. The rings are inspired by Brutalist architecture; the [reclaimed concrete](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ancora) that makes them comes from demolished buildings, among other sources. Each Beat Poet concrete ring style is available in either a black or a natural finish. **Implications** - The cement rings can come in contact with water and nothing will happen to them except some possible expansion and contraction that could result in a few cracks. The Beat Poet concrete rings are not gender specific, so both boys and girls can enjoy them. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Upcycled Accessories:** The use of reclaimed materials to create unique accessories presents opportunities for sustainable innovation. - **Personalized Jewelry:** Offering consumers the ability to personalize their accessories creates product differentiation and increases emotional connections. - **Brutalist Design Influence:** The influence of Brutalist architecture on jewelry design creates opportunities for cross-disciplinary collaborations and unique aesthetic experiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Accessories:** Upcycling materials to create sustainable and unique jewelry presents opportunities for ethical fashion brands to differentiate themselves. - **Personalized Gifts:** Personalizing accessories creates opportunities for gift retailers to offer unique and emotional gifts. - **Architecture & Design:** The influence of Brutalist architecture on jewelry design presents opportunities for architecture and design firms to expand their brand and collaborate with fashion brands. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Concrete Art-Inspired Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-bang-meca10.md) - [Brick Toy-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-gogo.md) - [Confectionery-Inspired Ring Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brilliant-earth.md) - [Bread-Encrusted Gemstone Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rising-collection.md) - [Concrete Sculptural Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ancora.md) - [Sturdy Home Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-cement-decor.md) - [Concrete Brick-Themed Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/he-she-brick-slippers.md) - [Coastal Concrete Building Materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/econcrete.md) - [Plant-Mined Metal Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/h2er.md)
