# Oversized Slang Jewelry Mimic Beyoncé's Style with These Fabulous Ratchet Earrings By Ariel Weber | Published 2013-01-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ratchet-earrings References: [highsnobette](http://www.highsnobette.com/news/2013/01/25/melody-ehsani-x-miss-kl-rachet-earrings/) & [misskl](http://www.misskl.com/product/The-Melody-Ehsani-x-Miss-KL-Exclusive-Ratchet-Earrings/352824) Though the definition of the slang word ratchet may be debated, these Ratchet Earrings by Melody Ehsani are undeniably dope. Though the slang word itself may not have a specific definition, some would interpret this word as someone or something who has no class. Beyoncé, who donned a pair of look-a-like earrings earlier this year, represented her ghetto fabulous side when she posed for a shot with these oversized accessories. The designer was inspired by the singer to create her own version of these gold plated door-knocker earrings, which come with a reflective ratchet print detail on it. Interestingly enough, it has been rumored that the singer sported these earrings to allude to an upcoming collaboration with Lady Gaga on a song of the same name. Though we may have to wait to find out if this is true or not, there is no denying that the Ratchet Earrings are a clever way to spice up any outfit. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Oversized Jewelry:** Create bold and innovative jewelry designs that push the boundaries of size and design, mimicking celebrity styles. - **Slang-inspired Fashion:** Use slang words or phrases as inspiration for fashion designs, incorporating tongue-in-cheek humor and pop culture references. - **Reflective Detailing:** Integrate reflective materials or embellishments into fashion accessories to add an eye-catching element of shine and texture. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Jewelry Design:** Innovate in the jewelry industry to create bold and attention-grabbing designs that incorporate oversized elements and playful references. - **Fashion Design:** Explore new territory in fashion design by incorporating slang words or phrases into clothing or accessory designs, incorporating humor and wit into mainstream fashion. - **Technology:** Develop reflective materials and technologies that can be used in accessories, clothing, and beyond to create an innovative, eye-catching look. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chunky Sculptural Hoop Earrings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patra-oversized-hoops.md) - [Artist-Designed Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melody-ehsani-1.md) - [Ultra-Luxe Rhinestone Earphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glam-earpods-holder.md) - [Retro Wired Headphone Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/racer-worldwide-racerpods-necklace.md) - [Playful Designer-Enhanced Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beats-x-melody-ehsani-powerbeats-pro.md) - [Customizable Statement Accessory Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocknot.md) - [Fashion-Forward Audio Earrings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peripherii-priamble.md) - [Blinged-Out Smart Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asap-rocky-1.md) - [Rapper Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pav-nite.md)
