We all know that “[Golden Girls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-girls-lego-kit)” was a bad TV program--so bad that it is brilliant. The sitcom has also inspired a [collection of brilliantly trashy necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-professions-collection). Another brilliant [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dropshop) find from Trashed Clothing.

Clearly not a fan of copyright law, the user also offers a range of “Star Wars” jewelry. These look good, but for me the pieces that really work are the “Golden Girls” necklaces--their strength being that they are crap and so random.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Retro TV Show Jewelry:** Opportunity for companies to create jewelry inspired by popular retro TV shows and capitalize on nostalgia.
- **Trashy Necklaces:** A market for deliberately cheesy and tacky necklaces inspired by cult TV shows and movies.
- **Copyright-infringing Jewelry:** Demand for jewelry featuring copyrighted characters and designs, despite potential legal issues.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Fashion Accessories:** Fashion accessory companies can tap into the trend of retro TV show jewelry and create unique pieces that cater to niche audiences.
- **Online Marketplace:** Opportunity for online marketplaces like Etsy to provide a platform for sellers to offer retro TV show-inspired jewelry and accessories.
- **Intellectual Property Legal Services:** Law firms specializing in intellectual property can help jewelry makers understand copyright laws and potential infringement issues when creating jewelry featuring copyrighted characters.
