Jules' Extraordinary Telescope Ring Will Inspire Adventure By Meghan Young | Published 2012-06-25 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capt-jules-extraordinary-telescope-ring References: [bookofjoe](http://www.bookofjoe.com/2012/06/steampunk-telescope-ring.html) & [thinkgeek](http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/jewelry/e9b7/) A person doesn't need to own a ship to travel the nine seas in order to enjoy the Capt. Jules' Extraordinary Telescope Ring. Instead, this piece of [steampunk jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-jewelry-collection1) will encourage people to embrace their inner adventurist and explorer in ways that are not limited to bodies of water. A fun accessory, it is fully functional in a way that any captain would need it to be. Created by the fine folks over at ThinkGeek, the Capt. Jules' Extraordinary Telescope Ring is made out of a lightweight aluminum that has been given an aged bronze finish. Although quite clunky, it makes up to it in terms of usefulness. It has a [compass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marine-type-3) and two lenses that fold out into a [mini telescope](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magellan-automatic-star-trek-warp-speed), one of which can be utilized as a magnifying glass. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Steampunk Jewelry:** Opportunity for innovative designs that blend vintage and technological elements in jewelry. - **Functional Accessories:** Potential to create accessories that serve both decorative and practical purposes. - **Adventure-inspired Fashion:** Demand for fashion items that evoke a sense of exploration and adventure. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion and Accessories:** Innovative fashion brands could explore incorporating steampunk and functional elements into their designs. - **Jewelry:** Opportunity for jewelers to create unique pieces that combine aesthetics with practical functionality. - **Gifts and Gadgets:** Companies specializing in novelty gifts can capitalize on the appeal of adventure-inspired accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Extravagant Jewelry Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treasure-island.md) - [Durably Waterproof Compasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterproof-compass.md) - [Japan-Inspired Wearable Watch Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stasto-stand-stones.md) - [Industrial Fidget-Friendly Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/titanium-mechanical-ring.md) - [Bug-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/murder-hornet-ring.md) - [Space-Age Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/europa-clipper-exploration-watch.md) - [Metallic Ring-Style Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-crw0011jr.md) - [Collaboration Automotive Ring Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manly-bands-x-jeep-rock-crawler-ring.md) - [Gold-Tonal Ring Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crw001g9jr.md)
