While most retailers opt to use fake flowers in their headbands and jewelry designs as a way to preserve the look over time, you just can't get that [fresh and vibrant appeal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/preserved-roses) that real flowers serve to have. While using fresh florals won't last you a long time, their easy and breezy summer vibe will definitely make it worth your while. Simply gather roses of your choice, cut the stems off and then string them together into a necklace design. Featured on the blog 'The Green Dandelion,' this DIY activity allows you to create something naturally beautiful in just a few steps. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - 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's Driving This Trend - **Real Flower Accessories:** Opportunity for retailers to create unique accessories using real flowers, providing a fresh and vibrant appeal. - **DIY Jewelry:** Opportunity for the DIY market to create personalized jewelry pieces using natural materials like flowers. - **Summer Vibe Accessories:** Opportunity for retailers to cater to the summer aesthetics by offering easy and breezy accessories made with real flowers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Retail:** Opportunity for fashion retailers to incorporate real flower accessories into their product offerings. - **DIY Market:** Opportunity for the DIY market to provide resources and materials for creating DIY jewelry with real flowers. - **Florist Industry:** Opportunity for florists to collaborate with designers and retailers to supply fresh flowers for accessory-making. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Y2K-Inspired Flower Necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foufou.md) - [Stunning Dried Flower Arrangements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/east-olivia.md) - [Preserved Flower Keepsakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-preservation.md) - [Crystal Floral Arrangement Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-crystal-floral-kits.md) - [DIY LED Flower Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floled.md) - [Symbolic Handcrafted Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonders-of-nature.md) - [Garden-Inspired Jewelry Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-york-botanical-gardens-x-alex-and-ani.md) - [Vibrant Preserved Rose Bouquets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/preserved-roses.md) - [Mom-Centric Floral Arrangements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouquet-box.md)
