# Macabre Bone Baubles Cartilage Bedecks the Body with the Espiritu de la Tierra Jewelry Line By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-05-04 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espiritu-de-la-tierra References: [themag.it](http://www.themag.it/inspiration/2013/espiritu-de-la-tierra-jewelry.html) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/depolvoyviento) Ana María and María Fernanda Gavilán are the twin sisters behind the brand De Polvo y Viento from which the Espiritu de la Tierra jewelry line emanates. Inspired by the macabre, the design duo use [natural elements from animal bodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/untamed-nature) to create gorgeous pieces of jewelry that then decorate human bodies. Whenever anyone wears one of these [bone baubles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/murder-hornet-ring), it is as if they are showing their inner being, the parts of their own body hidden behind layers of flesh and skin. This association acts as a reminder of our own mortality, yet it does so with such grace so as to encourage living a life full of beauty and humility. Some of my favorite pieces from the Espiritu de la Tierra collection include the sweeping [ear cuffs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elsa-peretti1) and headpieces. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/jewelry) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Magic Realism Fashion:** Designing jewelry with natural elements from animal bodies recreates an enchanting world that people are eager to step into. - **Eco-friendly Accessories:** Espiritu de la Tierra's jewelry line promotes eco-fashion by utilizing elements of upcycling production methods. - **Ethical Consumerism:** Creating jewelry with natural resources such as animal bones pushes the fashion industry to consider alternative resource management strategies. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The Espiritu de la Tierra jewelry line initiates novel trends that promote magic realism fashion, eco-friendly accessories, and ethical consumerism. - **E-commerce:** De Polvo y Viento's use of natural materials in its products provides promising disruption opportunities for online stores that focus on eco-friendly accessories. - **Animal Resource Management:** Espiritu de la Tierra's use of animal bones in its jewelry line showcases a potential opportunity for alternative resource management within the animal farming industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Organically Shaped Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levitas.md) - [Haunting Fine Jewelry Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faberge-x-beetlejuice-beetlejuice.md) - [Complimentary Sculptural Jewelry Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-jewelry-piece.md) - [Stunning Organic-Inspired Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organicinspired-jewelry.md) - [Handcrafted Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird.md) - [High-End Organic Statement Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s-carter-designs.md) - [Minimalist Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barebone.md) - [Nature-Inspired Jewelry Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marbella-club-x-daniela-villegas.md) - [Untamed Nature-Inspired Jewelry Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/untamed-nature.md)
