# Jeweled Ebony Kara Ross Design By Going Like Sixty | Published 2008-01-14 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kara-ross-ebony-cuffs References: [jewelsnob](http://www.jewelsnob.com/2008/01/kara_ross_ebony_hinged_cuffs.html) & [vivre](http://www.vivre.com/control/product/~category_id=9001/~product_id=40038) These [hinged cuffs](http://www.vivre.com/control/product/~category_id=9001/~product_id=40038) are classic in style, but certainly not standard in material. Smooth, luscious ebony wood is highlighted with "cufflinks" of unmatched semi-precious stones such as blue and smoky topaz, peridot, citrine, amethyst and aquamarine set in 18K gold. It is these jewels that close the beautiful, dark wooden bracelets, adding that extra bit of glitz so in vogue today. Wide and narrow interpretations of the cuffs by [Kara Ross](http://www.jewelsnob.com/2008/01/kara_ross_ebony_hinged_cuffs.html) will dress up any fashion blouse. Prices start at $3,370. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 29% | 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) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Luxury Wood Jewelry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore sustainable and eco-friendly materials to create high-end jewelry pieces. - **Gemstone Closures:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative ways to incorporate gemstones as closures in various fashion accessories. - **Glitz and Glamour:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create designs that capture the current trend of adding extra sparkle and glamour to fashion items. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Jewelry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate unconventional materials and designs into the fashion jewelry industry to cater to unique consumer tastes. - **Luxury Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine natural materials and precious gemstones to create luxurious and exclusive fashion pieces. - **Sustainable Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Embrace sustainable practices and materials in the fashion industry, including the use of eco-friendly wood and gemstones. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Iconic Jewelry Cuff Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elsa-peretti1.md) - [Personalized Jewelry Cuffs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/name-drop-cuff.md) - [Ebony-Accented EDC Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-james-brand-ebony-collection.md) - [High-End Organic Statement Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s-carter-designs.md) - [Energizing Gold-Plated Cufflinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/5-hour-energy-cufflinks.md) - [Luxurious Handmade Jewelry Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-handmade-jewelry.md) - [Minimalist Leather Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plik-1.md) - [Edgy Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mikimoto-x-chrome-hearts.md) - [Stunning Organic-Inspired Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organicinspired-jewelry.md)
