The 'Deer Statement Necklace' is an avant-garde design that the exaggerates the shape of a stag's antlers to gracefully sit along the wearer's collarbone. For an extra bit of sheen, Ashley's necklaces are topped off with a glossy coat of lacquer. The fantastical piece of jewelry is a gorgeous statement-making necklace and a definite conversation-starter. Because each of Ashley's pieces are 3D-printed, each dramatic necklace is made to order through her [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dropshop) shop, 'Smashing Designs.' The Brooklyn-based artist seems to work primarily with a palette of black and white, but 3D printing also allows Ashley the flexibility to take requests for custom colors and accessories. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **3D Printing in Jewelry:** An opportunity for jewelry manufacturers to utilize 3D printing technology to create unique and customizable designs. - **Exaggerated Statement Jewelry:** A trend in the jewelry industry that offers opportunity for designers to create bold and attention-grabbing pieces. - **Customizable Accessories:** The rise of personalized accessories creates an opportunity for businesses to offer customizable options, leveraging technologies such as 3D printing. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Jewelry Manufacturing:** Jewelry manufacturers can harness 3D printing technology to streamline production and offer unique designs on demand. - **Fashion Accessories:** Designers can explore exaggerated statement jewelry as a disruptive innovation opportunity to cater to fashion-forward consumers. - **E-commerce and Personalization:** Businesses operating in the e-commerce space can tap into the demand for customizable accessories to offer tailored products to their customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Romantic Statement Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/full-heart-love-link-necklace.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) - [Wearable Sculptural Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dtcable-collection.md) - [Bug-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/murder-hornet-ring.md) - [Y2K-Inspired Flower Necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foufou.md) - [Digital NFT Necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avalanche.md) - [Delicate Jewelry Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alhambra-collection.md) - [Bold Handmade Jewelry Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holst-lee.md)
