# Contemporary Card Stock Jewelry Using Only Paper, ​Lisa Catterson​ Creates Chic Accout By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2013-05-01 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lisa-catterson References: [craftbritain](http://craftbritain.co.uk/2012/08/13/lisa-catterson-paper-necklace/) & [lisacatterson](http://www.lisacatterson.com) Paper is a utilitarian office supply that's often taken for granted, but artist ​Lisa Catterson​ switches up the traditional perceptions of what can be done with the pulpy matter by creating beautiful pieces of [abstract jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes). Catterson's work is made using [multiple sheets of thick paper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves), most of which is made and cut by hand with a finite of her other works being laser-cut. Looking overtly futuristic, Catterson's work is mostly done in a monochrome color scheme with the majority of the pieces being accented with industrial materials like [oxidized white metal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-metal-jewellery-reformation-x-clair-waight-keller-create-a-limited). It seems like there's little a vivid imagination and a little bit of ingenuity can't create, which is evident with Catterson's paper jewelry, which can be found on exhibit in various galleries across Europe. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/jewelry) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Pulpy Matter Jewelry:** Creating unique jewelry pieces using paper as the main material, showcasing the potential of unconventional materials in the fashion industry. - **Handcrafted Abstract Jewelry:** Highlighting the value of handmade craftsmanship in the world of jewelry design, offering personalized and artistic accessories. - **Futuristic Monochrome Accessories:** Exploring the intersection of technology and fashion by using a monochrome color scheme and industrial accents, providing a forward-thinking aesthetic. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion and Accessories:** Incorporating paper into jewelry design opens up possibilities for sustainable and innovative materials in the fashion industry. - **Art and Galleries:** Showcasing paper jewelry in galleries demonstrates the integration of traditional and contemporary art forms, giving exposure to experimental art practices. - **Craftsmanship and Handmade Goods:** Emphasizing the value of handcrafted jewelry pieces showcases the importance of artisanal skills and caters to the demand for unique and personalized products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti.md) - [Wearable Sculptural Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dtcable-collection.md) - [Stunning Organic-Inspired Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organicinspired-jewelry.md) - [Handcrafted Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird.md) - [Origami-Inspired Porcelain Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saori-matsushita.md) - [Bread-Encrusted Gemstone Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rising-collection.md) - [Consciously Cool Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment.md) - [Chic Artisanal Jewerly Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/judy-carter.md) - [Paper-Formed Premium Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pastille.md)
