Call me crazy, but butterflies and flowers were working fine for me. The most recent in a line of rat accessory creations is the designs by [jewelry duo Make Believe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vera-wang-and-jared-atelier). The Make Believe rat jewelry includes [pendants and necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wanderlust-co-x-rubirosa), all with small white rats. Now, the rats are obviously fake, but I don’t know that fake makes it OK. Either way, take a look at the rodent jewels by Make Believe above. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% 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's Driving This Trend - **Rat-inspired Accessories:** Opportunity for jewelry designers to create innovative and unique accessories with rodent motifs. - **Fake Animal Accessories:** Fashion designers can explore new ways of incorporating synthetic animal designs into their products. - **Controversial Fashion Accessories:** Exploring edgy and unconventional fashion accessories can attract experimental and daring customers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry can take advantage of the trend and create unique rat-themed accessories and incorporate them into their products. - **Jewelry Industry:** Opportunity for jewelry makers to come up with innovative ideas for using synthetic animal motifs in their designs. - **Artificial Intelligence Industry:** By creating AI-empowered designs, the industry can explore more possibilities for incorporating synthetic animal designs into various products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bug-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/murder-hornet-ring.md) - [Avant-Garde Radish Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radish-hat.md) - [Whimsical Doll-Inspired Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pidgin.md) - [Handcrafted Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird.md) - [Consciously Cool Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [QSR-Themed Premium Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/litter-and-glamour-collection.md) - [Customizable Pet-Inspired Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ruff-gems.md) - [Fashionable Rodent NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pac-mall-rats.md)
