Typically, 27-year-old designer Noémie of Noémiah first chooses a feather and then draws inspiration from its color, length, texture and shape. From that, she will add on to the Noémiah pieces, working with quality metal materials. Anything from the Noémiah collection will garner attention due to its size and vivid coloring. **Implications** - Consumers are becoming increasingly more attracted to [handmade products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/untamed-nature) due to the environmental concerns associated with mass-produced items and for financial reasons. Companies can benefit from this by merging with small businesses or independent designers to harness the DIY sense. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 - **Handmade Jewelry:** The trend of handmade jewelry is growing due to increased environmental concerns and financial reasons. - **Feather Accessories:** Feather accessories are a rising trend in the fashion industry due to their unique and eye-catching appearance. - **Merging with Independent Designers:** Companies can benefit from merging with small businesses or independent designers to harness the potential of the DIY movement. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can tap into the trend of feather accessories to offer unique and fashionable products. - **Jewelry:** The jewelry industry should consider the growing consumer demand for handmade jewelry. - **Retail:** Retail companies can benefit from partnering with independent designers to offer high-quality, unique products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Consciously Cool Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment.md) - [Nature-Inspired High Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-jewelry-collection.md) - [High-End Organic Statement Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s-carter-designs.md) - [Travel-Inspired Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dean-davidsons-nomad-collection.md) - [Stunning Organic-Inspired Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organicinspired-jewelry.md) - [Y2K-Inspired Flower Necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foufou.md) - [Feminine Graceful Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sarahbijoux.md) - [Hypoallergenic Waterproof Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flaire-co.md) - [Durable Handmade Jewelry Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/durable-handmade-jewelry.md)
