# Chained Cutlass Earrings A Pirate Ear Stud is the Perfect Plunder for Your Costume By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-01-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pirate-ear-stud References: [gadgetsmatrix](http://gadgetsmatrix.com/archives/pirate-ear-stud/21628) & [amazon](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AWS8ZRK?tag=trenhunt0f-20) Whether you are dressing up as a pirate for Halloween or you just want a dagger sticking out of your earlobe, the Pirate Ear Stud may be just the accessory you need. Deck out your ears with swashbuckling booty as this [earring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flaire-co) looks like a prop straight out of The Pirates of the Caribbean movie series. The scabbard or cutlass, whichever term you prefer, has a red enameled heart pommel at the base of the handle and a [curved blade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paracord-beads) that looks like it could do some serious damage to your lobes. Never fear, however, because the blade actually separates from the handle, exposing a thin rod that fits right into your piercing. The Pirate Ear Stud also wraps around your ear with a chain. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/jewelry) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Costume Jewelry:** Opportunity for innovative and unique accessories that enhance costume outfits. - **Film-inspired Fashion:** Potential for creating fashion pieces inspired by popular movies and characters. - **Functional Earrings:** Market for earrings that serve a purpose beyond aesthetics. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Accessories:** Industry that can explore designs and materials for unique and themed accessories. - **Entertainment Merchandise:** Industry that can leverage popular films and characters to create fashion and lifestyle products. - **Body Jewelry:** Industry that can innovate with functional and distinctive earring designs for self-expression. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Halloween-Themed Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-halloween-jewelry.md) - [Enchanting Gemstone Charms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dagger-charm-collection.md) - [Earring Earbud Concept Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhang-yunxib.md) - [Preserved Flower Earrings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rose-petal-heart-earrings.md) - [Wireless Earbud Connecting Chains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/podchain.md) - [Elegant Women's Jewelry Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/womens-jewelry1.md) - [Festive Double-Drop Earrings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lovers-tempo.md) - [Wireless Effigy-Like Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-corseca.md) - [Crystal-Embellished Earwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swarovski-x-loop.md)
