# UV Ray Rings 'Marcus' from Julien Bergignat Monitors the Effects of the Sun on Your Skin By Michael Hines | Published 2010-06-30 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marcus-from-julien-bergignat References: [walyou](http://www.walyou.com/blog/2010/06/27/marcus-uv-rays-exposure-smart-ring/) & [julienbergignat](http://www.julienbergignat.com/) 'Marcus' from Julien Bergignat is a one-of-a-kind ring designed to help you safely enjoy some fun in the sun. This ring was designed to help monitor [UV rays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sun-day-app) and the damage that they may be causing to your skin. The sun can do more damage than just a sunburn or an uneven tan. Skin cancer is another side effect of getting too much sun. 'Marcus' from Julien Bergignat would [monitor your body's UV intake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luna-20) through your hands and transmit the data to a doctor to alert you if your body is getting too much sun. I love this idea. Fighting skin cancer with [hip jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oura-ring-4-ceramic) is a win in my book. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **UV Ray Monitoring Wearables:** The trend of wearable devices geared towards monitoring UV ray exposure or prevention opportunities for consumers. - **Smart Jewelry:** The trend of merging technology-enabled features with jewelry pieces. - **Health-tracking Wearables:** The trend of wearable devices used for health monitoring activities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Jewelry Industry:** Opportunity for jewelry manufacturers to create fashionable pieces that merge technology for health monitoring purposes. - **Healthcare Industry:** Opportunity to leverage wearable technology to monitor patients' health, enabling early detection and prevention of illnesses. - **Consumer Electronics Industry:** Opportunity to create standalone or wearable devices that help monitor UV ray exposure and other health parameters for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxurious Smart Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rare-ring.md) - [Fitness-Tracking Smart Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultrahuman-ring-1.md) - [Elegant Health-Tracking Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultrahuman-ring.md) - [Sun Safety Guides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uv-guardian.md) - [Insight-Offering Smart Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vera-ring.md) - [Medical-Grade Health-Tracking Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/circul-ring.md) - [Health-Tracking Fitness Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kuura.md) - [Metric-Tracking Smart Lightweight Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultrahuman-ring-air.md) - [UV Damage-Detecting Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uv-damagedetecting-camera.md)
