# Light-Up Wedding Bands These Diamonds Shine With LED Lights When the Married Couple Holds Hands By Ryan Fowler | Published 2013-07-02 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diamonds-shine References: [incrediblethings](http://www.incrediblethings.com/style-and-gear/ring-lights-up-when-you-hold-hands/) & [hackaday](http://hackaday.com/2013/05/20/adding-leds-to-an-engagement-ring/) These diamonds shine more than your average stones. A man named Ben has created an engagement ring that shines with some help from a clever design and creativity. To accomplish this, Ben used a program to come up with a titanium ring that has 23 stones --13 white and 10 blue. This sounds stunning already, but the stones are not even the special part. Making a diamond ring where the diamonds shine with actual light is something that most of us have never seen before. Essentially, the design included a copper coil assembly and LEDs integrated into the existing ring. Ben used a coil of wire wound around kapton tape that served as the inductor, and a small SMD capacitor that powers three very bright, but very tiny LEDs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Light-up Jewelry:** The concept of adding light to jewelry is a novel design trend, and could create new markets for fashionable products. - **Smart Wedding Rings:** The integration of technology into wedding bands has the potential to revolutionize the jewelry industry and appeal to tech-savvy consumers. - **Personalized Engagement Rings:** Using programs to design customizable engagement rings could change the way in which customers buy their rings, increasing creativity and imagination. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Jewelry:** Integrating technology in traditional jewelry design can attract more customers and create new markets with high profit margins. - **Wedding and Bridal Industry:** The incorporation of technology in wedding-related products offers endless possibilities for innovation, particularly when targeting the Millennial market. - **Fashion and Accessories:** The trend of wearable technology in the fashion industry can be extended to jewelry, creating a fusion between luxurious stones and smart features. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Powered Diamond Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spktrl-light-ring.md) - [Confectionery-Inspired Ring Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brilliant-earth.md) - [Unique Wedding Bands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-wedding-bands.md) - [Coffin-Shaped Engagement Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffin-shaped-engagement-rings.md) - [Personalized Mixed-Cut Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/austen-blake.md) - [Curated Wedding Jewellery Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-jewellery-guide.md) - [Premium Lab-Grown Diamond Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/labgrown-diamond-rings.md) - [Lab-Grown Stones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skydiamond.md) - [Dynamic Energy-Inspired Luxury Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-collections.md)
