# Retro Tech Accessories The Cirkuita Jewelry Collection is Sophisticatedly Finished By Meghan Young | Published 2011-05-09 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cirkuita-jewelry-collection References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/jewelry-from-old-technology) & [paolamirai](http://www.paolamirai.com/) Accessories made out of old technology might not be anything new, but the Cirkuita Jewelry Collection is extra special, thanks to its more refined and finished look. Instead of a line of earrings, necklaces and bracelets that are fashioned completely out of [circuit boards and other tech parts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-slac), these pieces are encased in [transparent and super-light material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-clear-series) called orotransparente for a unique end result. Created by designer Paola Mirai, the Cirkuita Jewelry Collection is [completely handmade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird), which means that each piece is one-of-a-kind. Although there is a definite futuristic quality about each piece, the orotransparente gives it a more ambiguous aesthetic, rather than making it appear blatantly technological. Right now, the Cirkuita Jewelry Collection is comprised of pendents, cuffs and rings. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.3/10 - Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Retro-tech Jewelry:** Opportunity for designers to create unique, handmade jewelry incorporating old technology in a sophisticated and refined way with the use of modern materials. - **Minimalist Tech Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity by creating tech accessories with a simple and unconventional design that appeals to both tech and fashion lovers. - **Sustainable Tech Fashion:** Innovative opportunity for designers to create stylish tech accessories using eco-friendly and sustainable materials for a more conscious and ethical approach to fashion. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion companies can capitalize on the growing trend of integrating technology into fashion and explore new design possibilities. - **Technology:** Tech companies can partner with fashion brands to create innovative tech accessories that appeal to fashion-savvy consumers. - **Handmade Goods:** Opportunity for small businesses to create handmade tech accessories with a unique design that differentiates from mass-produced products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wearable Sculptural Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dtcable-collection.md) - [Minimalist AI Jewelry Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-ai-jewelry.md) - [Stunning Organic-Inspired Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organicinspired-jewelry.md) - [Visual Graphic-Inspired Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/esc-keys.md) - [Retro Wired Headphone Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/racer-worldwide-racerpods-necklace.md) - [Fashion-Forward Audio Earrings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peripherii-priamble.md) - [Craft-Aesthetic Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-martina-calvi-collection.md) - [Recycled Metal Jewellery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-metal-jewellery-reformation-x-clair-waight-keller-create-a-limited.md) - [Crystalline Tech Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-clear-series.md)
