# Minimalist Industrial Necklaces Maslo Jewelry Offers Simple Flair with Aboriginal Inspirations By Jonathon Brown | Published 2012-11-05 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maslo-jewelry References: [blog.2modern](http://blog.2modern.com/2012/11/startlingly-simple-maslo-jewelry.html) & [maslojewelry](http://www.maslojewelry.com/) Stark and simple, this new collection of necklaces from Maslo Jewelry combines industrial design elements with Native American sensibilities. The end result is an understated strength comprised of brass and black rope. Designed as a casual, simple accessory, its applications range far and wide. Based in Richmond, Virgina, Nicole Maslowski is the mind behind Maslo Jewelry, which features several variations on the necklaces. In other versions, Nicole uses materials like copper, brass and even gold. More artsy than shiny, this collection is for those looking for something simple and uniform. They usually say you shouldn't try to be everything to everyone, yet Maslo Jewelry aims high, describing its style as “skillfully combining elements of both the old and new; vintage and modern.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Minimalist Jewelry:** Design simple and straightforward jewelry that combines industrial elements with unconventional inspirations. - **Aboriginal-inspired Fashion:** Create modern fashion that pays homage to indigenous cultures using classic design elements. - **Uniform Accessory Collections:** Offer collections of accessories with streamlined designs and materials that can be easily incorporated into daily looks. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry can capitalize on the trend for urban, minimalist designs that call to tradition without losing sight of modernity. - **Jewelry Industry:** The jewelry industry can take advantage of consumers' desire for understated yet meaningful accessory pieces. - **Indigenous Heritage Industry:** The native culture industry can offer inspiration for modern designs that honor and respect aboriginal cultures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barebone.md) - [Consciously Cool Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment.md) - [High-End Organic Statement Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s-carter-designs.md) - [Bold Handmade Jewelry Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holst-lee.md) - [Minimally Designed Ethereal Pendants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightmass.md) - [Stunning Organic-Inspired Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organicinspired-jewelry.md) - [Travel-Inspired Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dean-davidsons-nomad-collection.md) - [Durable Handmade Jewelry Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/durable-handmade-jewelry.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-jewelry.md)
