# Jewelry Vending Machines Marla Aaron's In-Store Machine Offers a New Way to Buy Fine Jewelry By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2019-02-06 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buy-fine-jewelry References: [luxurylaunches](http://luxurylaunches.com/jewelry/check-out-this-jewelry-vending-machine-in-new-yorks-soho-district.php) & [marlaaaron](https://marlaaaron.com/) MZ Wallace prides itself on creating essential accessories for modern life and its flagship NYC store now offers a convenient new way for consumers to buy fine jewelry by a vending machine. For Valentine's Day, a unique in-store installation has been set up to help shoppers purchase Marla Aaron’s fine jewelry curated by the designer and MZ Wallace co-founder Lucy Wallace Eustice. The vending machine is stocked with styles from Marla Aaron that range from $125 to just under $1,500, and to create more of an experience around the unique installation, the brand shares a short film on the screen of the jewelry-dispensing machine. Each of the luxury gifts is released in a preciously gift-wrapped box, complete with a bow. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [Retail](https://www.trendhunter.com/retail) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Automated Retail:** The use of vending machines for selling luxury goods creates opportunities for automated retail solutions and personalized shopping experiences. - **Curated Collections:** Curating fine jewelry collections in vending machines allows for targeted and niche marketing, appealing to specific consumer preferences. - **Experiential Shopping:** Integrating short films and luxury gift-wrapped boxes into the vending machine experience enhances the overall shopping experience and creates a sense of novelty. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Retail:** The luxury retail industry can explore the potential of jewelry vending machines to provide convenient and accessible shopping experiences for their high-end clientele. - **Fashion Accessories:** The fashion accessories industry can tap into the curated collections trend to create vending machine installations for selling niche jewelry and accessories. - **Retail Technology:** The retail technology industry can develop innovative automated retail solutions that combine personalized shopping experiences with cutting-edge vending machine technology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [NFT Vending Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nft-vending-machine.md) - [Makeup Vending Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beauty-express.md) - [Accessible NFT Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mynft.md) - [Car Fragrance Vending Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carfume-vending-machine.md) - [Conversation Candy Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zales-x-sweethearts.md) - [Boutique Jewelry Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boutique-jewelry-concept.md) - [Lavish Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fine-jewelry-advent-calendar.md) - [AR Bracelet Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiffany-lock-bracelet.md) - [High Fashion Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vera-wang-and-jared-atelier.md)
