# Skeletal Jewelry The Ribcage Ring Seems Made for Halloween By Meghan Young | Published 2010-10-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ribcage-ring References: [bookofjoe](http://www.bookofjoe.com/2010/10/ribcage-ring.html) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/58583291/ribcage-ring-iron?ref=sr_gallery_2&ga_search_query=ribcage&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_page=&order=&includes) The Ribcage Ring is perfect for the Halloween holiday for a number of reasons. Not only does it bring to mind the skeletal parts of humans (or even animals), it also is a pretty dark and dramatic accessory piece. Created by János Gábor Varga, the Ribcage Ring was not designed for Halloween despite it's eerie name. Made out of a square iron tube, it is a great statement piece for any day of the year. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 - **Dark Jewelry:** Opportunity for creating jewelry with dark and dramatic designs inspired by Halloween. - **Skeleton-inspired Accessories:** Opportunity to create accessories inspired by skeletal parts of humans or animals. - **Statement Pieces:** Opportunity for designing bold and eye-catching accessories that make a strong fashion statement. ### Who This Affects Most - **Jewelry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the jewelry industry by offering unique and unconventional designs. - **Fashion Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the fashion accessories industry by incorporating unconventional and themed designs. - **Artisan Crafts:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the artisan crafts industry by creating one-of-a-kind handmade accessories with unconventional materials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Coffin-Shaped Engagement Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffin-shaped-engagement-rings.md) - [Bug-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/murder-hornet-ring.md) - [Halloween-Themed Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-halloween-jewelry.md) - [Industrial Fidget-Friendly Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/titanium-mechanical-ring.md) - [Haunting Fine Jewelry Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faberge-x-beetlejuice-beetlejuice.md) - [Spooky Halloween Candy Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reeses-peanut-butter-skeletons.md) - [Organically Shaped Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levitas.md) - [Healthcare-Inspired Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/v-coterie.md) - [Symbolic Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protect-collection.md)
