# Ultramodern Friendship Bracelets These Geometric Corian Jewelry Pieces Can Be Split and Shared By Charlotte Joyce Kidd | Published 2015-08-10 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corian-jewelry References: [architecturaldigest](http://www.architecturaldigest.com/blogs/daily/2015/08/uur-modern-friendship-bracelet?mbid=synd_curbed) & [shop-luurdesign-com.myshopify](http://shop-luurdesign-com.myshopify.com/collections/jewelry) Design company Luur has come up with the adult answer to the friendship bracelet in the form of their North South series, a collection of ultramodern Corian jewelry. The edgy geometric bracelets are made of Corian, the material most commonly seen in kitchen and bathroom counter tops, giving the jewelry a textured, stone-like look. Each bracelet is made up of two halves, so that they can be split and put together in [endless creative combinations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jelly-bands). Friends who each own a bracelet can trade halves to make more interesting, playful pieces. Like its grade-school equivalent, North South Corian jewelry can be given as a gift to symbolize a lasting bond between long-time friends. Luur's concept of adult friendship bracelets is an imaginative take on a childhood tradition. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Modular Jewelry:** Opportunity for jewelry companies to innovate by creating custom-made pieces that can be taken apart and reassembled in different configurations. - **Personalization:** An opportunity for jewelry manufacturers to create customized designs that allow customers to choose the colors and shapes of the different modules or parts of the jewelry. - **Interactivity:** An opportunity for jewelry designers to create pieces that can be split and shared between friends, family members or partners. ### Where This Applies - **Jewelry:** The jewelry industry could utilize the concept of modular, customizable and interactive jewelry to appeal to younger and more active audiences. - **Gifts:** Companies that specialize in personalized gifts and keepsakes could create pieces that are similar to the North South Corian jewelry and that can be exchanged between friends or lovers. - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry could use the Corian material with its stonelike texture to create unique, modular pieces that can serve as tabletop decor, trinkets, or vases. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tech-Enhanced Beaded Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soulstones.md) - [Consciously Cool Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment.md) - [Customizable Beaded Touch Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touch-bracelet.md) - [Crayon-Themed Arm Cuffs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-full.md) - [Brick Toy-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-gogo.md) - [Wearable Sculptural Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dtcable-collection.md) - [Meaningful Jewelry Gifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bluboho-x-fashionista.md) - [Dynamic Bold Statement Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chiyu.md) - [Braided Cord Bracelet Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/braided-cord-bracelet.md)
