# Contact Lens Bling Eric Klarenbeek Creates Eye Jewelry By Angela Lowe | Published 2006-05-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eye-jewels References: [gushmagazine](http://www.gushmagazine.com/article/contact-eye-jewels/) & [ericklarenbeek](http://www.ericklarenbeek.com/) Eric Klarenbeek has created eye jewels that hang from your [contact lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-framery). It’s not supposed to affect your eyesight, but what happens if the [eye jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artsy-eyewear-collection) gets caught on something? This is one trend I will not be participating in and I’m sure most people will agree with me. **Implications** - Consumers are wishing to distinguish themselves through every aspect of their physical appearance. Jewelry is an easy add-on to many products. Other industries can consider [eccentric accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experience2) that can be purchased on top of the main product. This allows for personalization in a society where people, despite having a wealth of choices, are worried that they are all one and the same. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Personalization of Accessories:** Distinguishing oneself through eccentric accessories is becoming increasingly popular, opening up opportunities for industries to offer add-on products. - **Customizable Product Offerings:** Consumers are seeking personalized options that allow them to customize their purchases, creating potential for industries to offer customizable main products. - **Unique Physical Appearance:** The desire for individuality in physical appearance is driving the trend of incorporating unique accessories, presenting industries with opportunities to develop innovative and eye-catching products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore the creation of eccentric accessories that can be added on to clothing or other fashion products. - **Electronics:** The electronics industry can consider offering customizable options for their main products, allowing consumers to personalize their electronic devices. - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can tap into the trend of personalization by offering customizable accent pieces that add unique flair to living spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Subtle Face Jewel Stickers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eye-bijoux.md) - [Glitter-Colored Contact Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fairy-1-day.md) - [Stylish Jewelry-Inspired Earplugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jing-designer-earplugs.md) - [Haute Hinge-Free Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangled-eyewear.md) - [Crystal-Encrusted Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oakley-x-swarovski.md) - [Crystal-Embellished Earwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swarovski-x-loop.md) - [Blinged-Out Smart Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asap-rocky-1.md) - [Confectionery-Inspired Ring Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brilliant-earth.md) - [Spiralled Shape Contact Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiral-diopter.md)
