# Space Station-Inspired Jewelry Death Star Engagement Ring is a Tribute to 'Stars Wars' By Meghan Young | Published 2013-10-01 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/death-star-engagement-ring References: [neatorama](http://www.neatorama.com/2013/09/27/Show-Her-Your-Dark-Side-With-This-Death-Star-Ring/) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151606981481360&set=a.106692886359.105891.54568916359&type=1&theater) More and more men are opting to propose with [singular custom rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ring-box-set), a category that the Death Star Engagement Ring falls under without a doubt. As its name suggests, it is a piece of jewelry inspired by the movie franchise 'Star Wars.' Modeled after the [fictional moon-sized space station](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ucs-death-star) and super weapon, it may be made for the geeky couple, but it certainly has a eccentric elegance about it as well. The Death Star Engagement Ring was designed by Paul Michael Designs, a studio known for its 'Star Wars' tributes including the [C3PO ring](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-band) and the [R2 D2 ring](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/r2d2-engagement-ring). It has a silver finish with sharp lines and black gems along the side. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Romance](https://www.trendhunter.com/romance) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Custom-pop Culture Jewelry:** Opportunity for jewelers to tap into the growing demand for personalized jewelry inspired by pop culture references. - **Geek-chic Engagement Rings:** Creating unconventional engagement ring designs inspired by science fiction and fantasy movies and series for the growing fanbase of the genre. - **Fandom-inspired Luxury Accessories:** Opportunity to target high-end consumers with a range of luxury, customized accessories inspired by popular franchises. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Jewelry:** Jewelers can cater to the demand of consumers looking for pop culture-inspired jewelry by offering unique, customized pieces. - **Film and TV Merchandise:** Opportunity for film and TV production houses to collaborate with designers to create high-end merchandise for their popular franchises. - **Luxury Fashion:** Upscale fashion brands can capitalize on the lucrative fandom market by offering high-end, personalized accessories inspired by popular franchises. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Coffin-Shaped Engagement Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffin-shaped-engagement-rings.md) - [Subtly Sci-Fi Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-x-citizen-rebel-starfighter-boxed-set.md) - [Ultra-Chic Bridal Jewelry Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-engagement-ring.md) - [Confectionery-Inspired Ring Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brilliant-earth.md) - [Bug-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/murder-hornet-ring.md) - [Sci-Fi Space Station Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maze-game.md) - [Proposal Ring Box Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ring-box-set.md) - [Brick Toy-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-gogo.md) - [Collaboration Automotive Ring Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manly-bands-x-jeep-rock-crawler-ring.md)
