# Chainsaw Earrings ClockworkZero Steampunk Jewelry Uses Repurposed Materials By Katie Cordrey | Published 2010-01-22 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clockworkzero-steampunk-jewelry References: [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/shop/ClockworkZero) & [wired](http://www.wired.com/techbiz/people/magazine/17-03/st_thompson/) The ClockworkZero store on [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-clock) specializes in steampunk and cyberpunk jewelry as well as geek gifts. Many of the pieces are made with [repurposed components](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-hardware). Take for instance, my favorite, the [recycled chainsaw blade earrings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-metal-jewellery-reformation-x-clair-waight-keller-create-a-limited) set off by garnet beads, shown as the lead photo in the gallery above. The self-described ‘geek girl’ behind ClockworkZero is also a Science Fiction and horror short story writer who is published under the name C.A. Manestar. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Repurposed Materials in Jewelry:** Opportunity for jewelers to attract environmentally conscious consumers by offering unique pieces made from repurposed materials. - **Steampunk and Cyberpunk Jewelry:** Potential for niche jewelry designers to cater to the growing demand for steampunk and cyberpunk-inspired accessories. - **Geek Gifts and Jewelry:** Opportunity for businesses to tap into the market of geek culture enthusiasts by offering unique and stylish accessories and gifts. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Jewelry:** Jewelry designers can explore incorporating repurposed materials and creating steampunk and cyberpunk-inspired pieces. - **Environmental Sustainability:** Opportunity for sustainable fashion and upcycling industries to collaborate with jewelry designers in creating eco-friendly accessories. - **Geek Culture Merchandise:** Businesses in the entertainment industry can expand their product offerings by partnering with jewelry designers to create geek-themed accessories and gifts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Handcrafted Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird.md) - [Sculpturally Formed Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyber-zombie.md) - [Festive Double-Drop Earrings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lovers-tempo.md) - [Recycled Metal Jewellery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-metal-jewellery-reformation-x-clair-waight-keller-create-a-limited.md) - [Bug-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/murder-hornet-ring.md) - [Labyrinth-Inspired Earring Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earring-studs.md) - [Bread-Encrusted Gemstone Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rising-collection.md) - [Preserved Flower Earrings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rose-petal-heart-earrings.md) - [Enchanting Classic-Animation-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girls-crew.md)
