# Luxe Morbid Home Decor The Evolution Pyrite Skull is Fool's Gold By Chalaine Mantha | Published 2011-02-07 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evolution-pyrite-skull References: [blog.urbanoutfitters](http://blog.urbanoutfitters.com/blog/pyrite_skull?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:) & [theevolutionstore](http://theevolutionstore.com/store/pyrite-skull-mn0035) The Evolution Pyrite Skull is made out of fool’s gold, aka pyrite. If you have an extra $12k hanging around, you can grab one these for yourself! The blinged-out skull is quite detailed and you can even make out each creepy golden tooth! The Evolution Pyrite Skull can be distinguished from real gold because it has a lighter shade, it’s harder and cannot be scratched with a knife. The skull itself looks quite morbid, but would make a great collectors item! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Ultra Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/ultraluxury) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxe Morbid Home Decor:** Opportunity for luxury brands to explore the dark and macabre aesthetic in home decor. - **Fool's Gold Artifacts:** Emerging trend of incorporating fool's gold, like pyrite, into high-end art and design pieces. - **Collectible Skulls:** Growing demand for unique and intricate skull sculptures as collectible items. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Home Decor:** Luxury home decor brands can tap into the morbid aesthetic trend by offering high-quality, stylish and macabre decor pieces. - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can experiment with using fool's gold, such as pyrite, to create visually striking and valuable art pieces. - **Collectibles:** The demand for collectible items, particularly skull sculptures, presents an opportunity for niche artists and collectors to create and curate unique and sought-after pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gold-Plated Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/24k-gold-plated-toothbrush.md) - [Anatomical Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-skull-with-hidden-organs.md) - [Luxe Gold-Plated Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goldplated-iphone-15-pro.md) - [Luxe Film-Inspired Trinkets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faberg-x-007-octopussy-egg-objet.md) - [Skull-Like Vodka Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystal-head-vodka-1.md) - [Gilded Thanksgiving Turkeys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/24-karat-gold-turkey.md) - [Gold-Detailed Luxe Soundbars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dione-opra-de-paris.md) - [Bug-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/murder-hornet-ring.md) - [18K Gold VR Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-vision-pro-cvr-edition.md)
