Many people want to be creators, but lack the resources to actually put their ideas in motion. While there are [3D printing shops online](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xolo-swarovski) like Thingiverse and Shapeways that retail pre-made objects, Trove takes this idea further by serving as a [bespoke jewelry design platform](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foliums). What's neat about Trove is that any design created becomes a part of the collective database, so if you spot a [simple stainless steel ring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-ring) made by another user that you want to embellish, this is totally possible. With the ability to follow other creators on Trove, this is also a neat way to stay up to date with what styles are popular across the website. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [New Ventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/newventures) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Custom Jewelry Making:** Trove's in-browser jewelry printing platform allows users to create their own custom designs. - **Collective Design Database:** Trove's platform creates a collective database of user-created designs for others to use and build upon. - **Social Design Community:** Trove enables users to follow other creators and stay updated on popular styles in the industry. ### Where This Applies - **3D Printing:** The custom jewelry making industry can benefit from 3D printing technology to offer personalized and unique designs. - **E-commerce:** The rise of platforms like Trove creates new opportunities for e-commerce businesses to sell custom jewelry online. - **Social Networking:** The integration of a social design community within Trove presents opportunities for companies to create social networking platforms specifically for the jewelry industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [2D-to-3D Jewelry Try-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtual-try-on-technology.md) - [International Jewelry-Focused Digital Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeweler-collective.md) - [Open 3D Printing Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zellerfeld-1.md) - [AI-Assisted Jewelry Design Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blng.md) - [Customizable Ring Print Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signet-print-kit.md) - [Modern Jewelry Websites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foliums.md) - [3D Printing Resource Databases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printlab.md) - [Customizable Jewelry Builders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jewelry-builder.md) - [Whimsical Heirloom-Quality Symbolic Talismans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3-graces-of-gold.md)
