# Kitchen Jewelry Wearable Pottery by Gesine Hackenberg By Pearl | Published 2008-05-24 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchen-jewelry-wearably-pottery-by-gesine-hackenberg References: [beadinggem](http://www.beadinggem.com/2008/05/ktichen-jewelry-wearable-pottery-by.html) & [gesinehackenberg](http://www.gesinehackenberg.com/) Gésine Hackenberg is a German artist and metal smith who thinks outside the box when it comes to creating [unusual jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyber-zombie). She connects between ordinary objects and making something wearable. Her [kitchen jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-buco-vita-x-commune-design) consists of punched out portions of pottery, lacquered bowls and plates strung together like beads to form necklaces, brooches or incorporated into rings. Broken pieces of pottery are also given new beginnings - the ring portion of a tea cup has even been made into a ring spoon. The remnant of pottery still attached to the ring part becomes the scoop! Brilliant. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Ordinary Objects:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore ways to transform ordinary objects into wearable accessories. - **Upcycled Jewelry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new methods to repurpose broken or discarded materials into unique jewelry pieces. - **Lacquered Pottery:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Invent innovative ways to use lacquered pottery as a design element in jewelry. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Disrupt the fashion accessories industry by creating unconventional, conversation-starting pieces using everyday objects. - **Artisan Crafts:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine traditional craftsmanship with sustainable materials to produce one-of-a-kind artisan jewelry. - **Upcycling:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Establish a business model focused on transforming discarded materials into high-end jewelry, catering to eco-conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bread-Encrusted Gemstone Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rising-collection.md) - [Wearable Sculptural Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dtcable-collection.md) - [Handcrafted Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird.md) - [Repurposed Studio Scrap Pottery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daon-pottery.md) - [Innovative Ceramic Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-tableware1.md) - [Kitchen-Focused Mending Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poj-studio.md) - [Brick Toy-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-gogo.md) - [Human Hair-Made Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/range-of-pots.md) - [Stunning Organic-Inspired Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organicinspired-jewelry.md)
