# Architectural Jewelry Aqueducts, Windows and Staircases by Joshua DeMonte By Elsa Blaine | Published 2009-07-16 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joshua-demonte-jewelry References: [coroflot](http://www.coroflot.com/public/individual_profile.asp?individual_id=276125&is_featured=-1&) Joshua DeMonte’s Aqueduct Collar is part of an [imaginative collection of jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-of-extraleganza). Each piece has been modeled after various [architectural elements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dust-order), like bracelets of open windows with curtains blowing in the breeze, wrist-wrapping cathedrals, and my favorite, the red carpet-lined grand staircase collar. There is a M.C. Escher feel to DeMonte’s work with surreal spiraling shapes and peculiar architectural perspectives. Joshua DeMonte is a graduate of [Tyler School of Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tyler-mcgillivary-vines-tank), Temple University in Philadelphia, where he currently resides. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/jewelry) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Architectural Jewelry:** Creating jewelry inspired by architecture offers a unique and disruptive innovation opportunity in the fashion industry. - **Imaginative Collections:** Developing imaginative collections that push the boundaries of traditional jewelry design presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the fashion industry. - **Surrealistic Designs:** Exploring surrealistic designs and abstract architectural perspectives in jewelry opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in the fashion industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can benefit from incorporating architectural elements into jewelry design, offering a unique selling point and attracting a new customer base. - **Art:** The art industry can explore the intersection of architecture and jewelry design, creating innovative and visually captivating pieces for art enthusiasts and collectors. - **Retail:** The retail industry can leverage architectural-inspired jewelry as a niche market, appealing to customers looking for distinctive and conversation-starting pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wearable Sculptural Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dtcable-collection.md) - [Geometric Jewelry Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nikos-koulis-boutique.md) - [Stunning Organic-Inspired Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organicinspired-jewelry.md) - [Travel-Inspired Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dean-davidsons-nomad-collection.md) - [Extravagant Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-of-extraleganza.md) - [Minimal Stone Wall Motifs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/couture-collection-2.md) - [Chic Artisanal Jewerly Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/judy-carter.md) - [Bread-Encrusted Gemstone Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rising-collection.md) - [Jewelry-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/through-chrome-reflections.md)
