# Underwater Menswear Accessories These Sea Urchin Cufflinks are Aquatic and Offbeat By Courtney Scharf | Published 2012-07-24 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-urchin-cufflinks References: [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/87818108/sea-urchin-cufflinks-brown) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/people/staroftheeast?ref=ls_profile) Made in Turkey, these sea urchin cufflinks are a gorgeous and unique way to bring some [aquatic style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swatch-scubaqua) to formal outfits. Made with actual sea urchins that have wound up ashore, these are genuine accessories with a unique twist. Typically blue in color and looking like beads with serious style, most people wouldn't recognize the sea urchin aspect of the cufflinks, making them a fabulous conversation piece. An effective way to jazz up boring and conservative get-ups, this set of cufflinks is truly one-of-a-kind and hard to find. Like other similarly [unique pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flaire-co), these are sold on [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dropshop) for about $44 a pair, and shipping is very reasonable. Sure to please any man looking to set himself apart, these cufflinks are a gorgeous and striking change of pace from traditional formal gear. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Aquatic Men's Accessories:** Designing unique accessories made from aquatic creatures is a new trend with opportunities to innovate further with sea life materials. - **Conversation Starters:** Creating fashionable accessories that are also unique conversation starters can create disruption in traditional formalwear styles. - **DIY Aquatic Accessories Kits:** Creating DIY kits for making aquatic accessories could be a new trend to offer crafty individuals a way to make their own unique pieces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion and Accessories:** Designing unique accessories is a trend within the fashion industry that is ripe for innovation. - **Seafood Processing:** Upcycling seafood byproducts from processing could be a new opportunity for materials within the seafood industry. - **E-commerce and DIY Craft Kits:** Creating e-commerce platforms with DIY craft kits is a trend that could benefit from the development of DIY aquatic accessories kit. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Energizing Gold-Plated Cufflinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/5-hour-energy-cufflinks.md) - [Sea Creature-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seat-urchin.md) - [Premium Sea Urchin Sources](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/springtide-seaweed.md) - [Beachy Shell Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuckernuck.md) - [Sea-Inspired Mini Sculpture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-sculptures.md) - [Accessible Aquatic Diver Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timex-tiburon-dive-watch.md) - [Sea Urchin-Sucking Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marine-robot.md) - [Accessible Aquatic-Hued Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blancpain-x-swatch-fifty-fathoms-blue-lagoon.md) - [Shirt Cuff-Integrated Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuff-watch.md)
