The shop uses "cire perdue," or the lost-wax casting process, as a technique. RogueRogue produces original metaphysical jewelry designs, in the form of third eyes or small hands, in wax. From then on, the mold gets casted and through a centrifugal process, the wax melts and the metal is injected into the mold created by the wax. The designs are wonderfully simplistic, but carry a unique artistic quality—the lines and the surface are roughened up, which gives the earrings and the pendants a desired handmade aesthetic. In addition, some of RogueRogue's metaphysical jewelry incorporates small stone details. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Metaphysical Jewelry Designs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new materials and techniques for creating metaphysical jewelry designs with a unique artistic quality. - **Lost-wax Casting Process:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop improved methods for the lost-wax casting process to enhance the production of wearable art pieces. - **Handmade Aesthetic:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Revolutionize the production of handmade jewelry to achieve desired aesthetic qualities through innovative manufacturing techniques. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Jewelry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine fashion and metaphysical elements in jewelry design to create new market segments. - **Artisanal Crafts:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate traditional artisanal techniques with modern technology to transform the craft industry and create unique wearable art pieces. - **Online Marketplace:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a specialized online platform for showcasing and selling metaphysical jewelry designs, targeting niche markets. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stunning Organic-Inspired Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organicinspired-jewelry.md) - [Chic Artisanal Jewerly Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/judy-carter.md) - [Inclusive Elementally Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/every-wave.md) - [Sustainable Talisman Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pyrrha-x-wicked.md) - [Bread-Encrusted Gemstone Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rising-collection.md) - [Organically Shaped Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levitas.md) - [Consciously Cool Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment.md) - [Bold Handmade Jewelry Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holst-lee.md) - [Resin Hardware Revivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-hardware.md)
