# Bejewelled Sports Accessories The Diamond Studded Golf Ball By Trendopoly | Published 2007-03-29 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bejewelled-sports-accessories-the-diamond-studded-golf-ball References: [bornrich.org](http://www.bornrich.org/entry/diamond-studded-golf-ball-for-rich-golfers/) & [charleshollandercollection](http://www.charleshollandercollection.com/golf.html#) Golf is the game of the rich and famous and fittingly, the Diamond-Studded Golf Ball fits in nicely with that demographic. This nifty luxury item was designed by Bernard Maquin, the creator of the $500,000 diamond-studded chess set. **Implications** - The product comes in a beautiful case for that extra touch of luxury. The blinging golf ball is encrusted with 11 carats of black and white diamonds and manufactured in 18-carat gold. The tee itself doesn't look too bad, considering that it also has a bit of bling to it to complement the ball. Bernard Maquin designed this exclusively for the Charles Hollander collection. It'd make a nifty gift for your retired dad or granddad -- if you can afford it, that is. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Ultra Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/ultraluxury) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Sports Accessories:** Opportunities for luxury brands to create high-end sports accessories for the wealthy and elite. - **Blinged-out Sporting Equipment:** Trend of adding diamonds and other precious gems to sporting equipment aimed at wealthy consumers. - **Designer Sports Equipment:** Increase in collaborations between luxury designers and sports equipment manufacturers to create high-end customized items. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Goods:** Opportunities for luxury goods companies to expand into the sports industry by creating high-end, blinged-out sports accessories. - **Sports Equipment:** Trend of adding diamond and other precious gems to sports equipment creates new revenue streams and markets for sports equipment manufacturers. - **Jewelry:** Collaborations between jewelry designers and sports equipment manufacturers could lead to the creation of unique and high-end sports accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxe Tennis-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zales-and-prince.md) - [Designer Golf Course Multitools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tidivot.md) - [Luxury Game Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-board-game.md) - [Luxe Golf-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byrne-gyro-dial-golf.md) - [Design-Adorned Golf Balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uther.md) - [Ultra-Luxurious Bejeweled Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/billionaire-card.md) - [Golf-Themed Oversized Trunks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-5.md) - [Luxury Dumbbells Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pent-x-swarovski.md) - [Luxurious Golf Course Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jimmy-choo-malbon-golf-collection.md)
