# Quirky Quarry Jewelry These Objeti Mining Rings Reference the Landscape from Which They Came By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-06-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objeti-mining-rings References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/48408/) & [objeti](http://objeti.com/miningrings.html) When most people gaze at an [expensive accessory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rare-ring), they likely seldom think of the rough earthy beginnings of the shiny forged material. These Objeti Mining Rings actually encourage this mental segue. Elegantly sculpted to reference strategically excavated topography, these [precious bands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-wedding-bands) specifically represent Australia's Fimiston Open Pit gold mine. Made in Cleveland, Ohio, the chic [finger bands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-ring) take the flat but smoothed shape of thick euro style rings around most of their circumference. The feature of each is a small irregular hole, gradually opening up to thickening contours by an ascension of miniature strips. It isn't clear whether or not the gold came from the Super Pit in the first place, but these Objeti Mining Rings will always remind their wearers to consider the origins of their possessions. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, 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 - **Mining-inspired Jewelry:** Creating jewelry that references the landscape of mining sites. - **Connection to Origins:** Encouraging wearers to consider the origins of their possessions through jewelry design. - **Sculptural Rings:** Designing rings with unique contours and irregular holes as a distinctive feature. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fine Jewelry:** Exploring innovative designs in the fine jewelry industry. - **Mining:** Finding opportunities to create products and designs inspired by the mining industry. - **Luxury Fashion:** Integrating unique and thought-provoking accessories into the luxury fashion industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Energy-Inspired Luxury Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-collections.md) - [Confectionery-Inspired Ring Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brilliant-earth.md) - [Timeless Mocha-Mousse-Inspired Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cove-fine-jewelry.md) - [Ultra-Chic Bridal Jewelry Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-engagement-ring.md) - [Bug-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/murder-hornet-ring.md) - [Ombre Statement Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/erin-tracy-ombr-stack.md) - [Collaboration Automotive Ring Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manly-bands-x-jeep-rock-crawler-ring.md) - [Bread-Encrusted Gemstone Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rising-collection.md) - [Handcrafted Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird.md)
