# Hummingbird Skull Necklaces Dead Fashion Jewelry by Blue Bayer is Dark & Alluring By TrendHead | Published 2010-04-10 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dead-fashion-jewelry References: [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=43236943) & [oohsome.blogspot](http://oohsome.blogspot.com/2009/06/black-bird-skull-pendant.html) These hummingbird skull necklaces are so beautiful in a dark punk kind of way. My super-stylish Swedish friend bought one recently from a store in Brooklyn and I have been mesmerized ever since, as it dangles from her neck and adds that [cool rock chic vibe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mikimoto-x-chrome-hearts) to her plain white tees. The bird skull necklaces are designed by [Blue Bayer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/204l-heron-blue), a New York-based artisan and can be purchased on [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dropshop). They come as high polished bronze, silver and 14k solid rose gold. They look ace in a long thin chain. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Dark Fashion Jewelry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create more edgy and unconventional designs using different animal skulls. - **Rock Chic Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experiment with incorporating skulls and other alternative motifs into different types of accessories, such as bracelets and earrings. - **Handcrafted Artisan Jewelry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine traditional craftsmanship with contemporary designs to create unique and personalized pieces of jewelry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore collaborations with alternative fashion brands to introduce statement accessories that cater to a niche market. - **Online Marketplace:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a curated platform specifically for artisan jewelry designers to showcase and sell their unique creations. - **Luxury Jewelry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate unconventional materials and designs into high-end jewelry collections to attract a younger, more edgy demographic. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High-End Organic Statement Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s-carter-designs.md) - [Consciously Cool Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment.md) - [Painter-Themed Charm Necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-at-the-museum.md) - [Haunting Fine Jewelry Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faberge-x-beetlejuice-beetlejuice.md) - [Handcrafted Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird.md) - [Bold Handmade Jewelry Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holst-lee.md) - [Y2K-Inspired Flower Necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foufou.md) - [Minimalist Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barebone.md) - [Fashion Jewelry Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sylvia-toledano.md)
