Murder & Suicide is his take on [nontraditional jewelry design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mikimoto-x-chrome-hearts). Lucas Mongiello has put a morbid twist on jewelry with this collection. The collection offers a necklace and bracelet option. You can even combine both for that brutally suicidal look. These may not be your everyday wear, but they are definitely invigorating as a [statement piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chiyu). **Implications** - Suicide can be an extremely touchy topic for many people, and yet products which touch upon the topic have proven to be highly successful. Businesses that create products that are brave enough to address taboo, yet important subjects -- like this Murder and Suicide collection of jewelry does -- can communicate honesty to a consumer. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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 - **Taboo Fashion:** Designers exploring taboo themes in fashion create an opportunity for businesses to tap into a previously unexplored market of consumers - **Controversial Accessories:** Creating accessories with a controversial theme is a disruptive innovation opportunity, as it caters to an overlooked and potentially lucrative consumer base - **Statement Jewelry:** Offering statement jewelry that goes beyond traditional designs can create a unique selling point for businesses, and attract consumers looking for something new and bold ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Designers and businesses in the fashion industry can explore taboo themes like suicide to create unique and edgy collections that can appeal to a wide audience - **Artisan Jewelry:** Artisan jewelry businesses creating bold, non-traditional designs with a controversial theme like suicide can create a new market of buyers looking for statement pieces - **Controversial Products:** Creating products that address taboo subjects can open up a market of consumers looking for bold and innovative products that push boundaries ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bug-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/murder-hornet-ring.md) - [Adventure-Inspired Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-jewelry-collection1.md) - [Consciously Cool Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment.md) - [Dynamic Bold Statement Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chiyu.md) - [Sculpturally Formed Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyber-zombie.md) - [Contemporary Military Fashion Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ukrainian-brand-rbtnk.md) - [Masculine Fashion House Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/les-gastons-vuitton-collection.md) - [Haunting Fine Jewelry Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faberge-x-beetlejuice-beetlejuice.md) - [Rugged Modern Holiday Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diesel-3.md)
