# Chess Set Rings This Ring Design Opens Up to Feature a Miniature Chess Board By M | Published 2015-10-17 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chess-board References: [boingboing.net](http://boingboing.net/2015/10/17/a-chess-set-you-wear-in-a-ring.html) & [imgur](https://imgur.com/Hh3Jeip) For those that absolutely love the game of chess, there is this dainty [ring design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/titanium-mechanical-ring) that features a minuscule -- but fully functional and playable -- set of chess embedded right inside. The ring's design features both the board and all the players need to play a strategic game of chess while on-the-go. Chess is a great game to test the mind and is ideal to play when you have downtime to kill. This ring made from sterling silver features a wide square design compartment that features 32 fully carved [chess pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chess-nyc) tucked inside. The lid of the compartment features the checked chess board that the pieces can be set up on to play. The ring is a one-of-a-kind design by Arduosity and while all the pieces needed to play a game of chess, it is apparently nearly impossible to on such a small scale. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Miniature Game Jewelry:** The rise of jewelry that incorporates fully-functional miniature games is a potential disruptive innovation opportunity in the jewelry industry. - **Play On-the-go:** The trend of creating games that are portable and easy to play while traveling or on-the-go presents a potential disruptive innovation opportunity in the gaming industry. - **Functional Fashion Accessories:** Incorporating functionality into fashion accessories, like a chess set into a ring, is a potential disruptive innovation opportunity in the fashion and accessory industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Jewelry:** The jewelry industry can benefit from incorporating functional miniature games, such as chess, into their products to appeal to consumers looking for unique and interactive wearable pieces. - **Gaming:** The gaming industry can explore creating more portable and travel-friendly games to cater to gamers who prefer to play on-the-go, especially with the rise of mobile gaming. - **Fashion and Accessories:** The fashion and accessories industry can develop more functional and practical pieces that incorporate unique features like game functionality, which caters to consumers looking for innovative and multi-functional items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stealthy Automotive Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollsroyce-chess.md) - [Compact Game Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roll-up-chess-and-checkers-set.md) - [Ceramic Chess Seating Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chair-chess.md) - [Flat-Pack Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jigsaw-chess-set.md) - [Luxurious Luggage Chess Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rimowa-6.md) - [Chess-Themed Art Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/checkmate-collection.md) - [Luxe Luggage Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rimowa-chess-attache.md) - [Opulent Automotive Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollsroyce-chess-set.md) - [Chocolate Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compartes-chocolate-chess.md)
