# Classmate Business Collaborations Made You Look Jewelry Stores By Bianca | Published 2008-05-29 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-you-look-toronto References: [madeyoulook](http://www.madeyoulook.ca/) While attending a jewelry arts program, Sarah Hamel realized the incredible opportunity she had to collaborate with her talented classmates and came up with the concept behind the first **Made You Look** [jewelry store in Toronto](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elelle). When Sarah graduated from George Brown College, she had already handpicked the talent and had good insight into each person’s work ethic and creative abilities. Made You Look features a [retail area in the front](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boutique-jewelry-concept) where jewelers can display and sell their wares, as well as a craft area with 12 work benches which are rented out and available 24/7 for live, in-house creation, whenever the creative urge strikes. The store, which recently opened Made You Look Accessories across the street, sells [handmade jewelry from over 100 Canadian artists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-jewelrys). This diverse mix of contributors leads some really eclectic pieces like the credit card necklace featured. The eco-friendly necklace by Thera Ip is actually made of real, cut-up credit cards. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Collaborative Retail Spaces:** Opportunity to create collaborative retail spaces where artists or creators can come together to showcase their work and collaborate on new projects. - **Handmade Artisan Jewelry:** Growing demand for unique and handmade artisan jewelry as consumers seek one-of-a-kind pieces with a story behind them. - **Eco-friendly Accessories:** Increasing interest in eco-friendly accessories made from recycled materials, providing an opportunity for sustainable and innovative jewelry designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Artisan Jewelry:** Opportunity for artisan jewelry industry to leverage collaborative retail spaces to showcase their work and attract a wider customer base. - **Creative Workspaces:** Rising demand for creative workspaces where artists and designers can rent workbenches and collaborate on their craft. - **Sustainable Fashion:** Growth potential in the sustainable fashion industry, particularly in the production of eco-friendly accessories made from recycled materials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Handcrafted Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird.md) - [Consciously Cool Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment.md) - [Fine Jewelry Boutique Openings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecksand-yorkville.md) - [Gender Inclusive Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sarah-o-jewelry-allgender-collection.md) - [Metallic Jewelry-Inspired Store Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kalevala.md) - [International Jewelry-Focused Digital Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeweler-collective.md) - [Bold Handmade Jewelry Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holst-lee.md) - [Charitable Jewelry Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anne-sportun-x-the-love-club.md) - [Delicate Jewelry Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monique-lhuilliers.md)
