Each Floto + Warner [pendant light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corka) is made from [recycled and secondhand jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-metal-jewellery-reformation-x-clair-waight-keller-create-a-limited), typically sourced from places like Goodwill and [Salvation Army](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chef-michael-symon) stores. When viewed up close, each necklace and pendant is still the garish creation it always was; as a whole, however, the light is quite impressive. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Repurposed Jewelry:** Discover how repurposing unworn or cast-off jewelry can create unique and sustainable design pieces. - **Recycled Materials:** Explore the innovative use of recycled materials in creating beautiful and environmentally-friendly decor. - **Secondhand Innovation:** Learn about the creative potential of sourcing secondhand items for unique design projects. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can leverage repurposed jewelry to add a touch of sustainability and originality to their projects. - **Sustainable Fashion:** Fashion designers can find inspiration in repurposing jewelry to create eco-friendly accessories or garments. - **Upcycling and Art:** Artists and upcycling enthusiasts can explore the artistic possibilities of transforming cast-off jewelry into stunning light fixtures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recycled Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytt-lys-collection.md) - [Jewel-Inspired Chandelier Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pearl-chandelier.md) - [Fishnet-Made Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-mycreation-droplet-lamp.md) - [Utensil Waste Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytt-lys.md) - [Mesmerizing Glass Pendants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dew-pendant.md) - [Mixed Material Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gant-pendant-lights.md) - [Leather Disc Modern Chandeliers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pell-chandelier.md) - [Exquisite Textured Pendant Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pendant-lamp1.md) - [Stacked Illuminator Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/konnect-pendant-light.md)
