The rings are taken from the skateboard deck's wooden base, cut out into a ring form, and sanded down so that it's ready to wear. The Seven Plys skateboard ring is actually a great idea for those skateboarders who need a girlfriend-pleasing present and have plenty of old decks that could be put to good use. Skateboard decks are usually made out of a number of layers of wood, so you could get some cool colours, like in the pictures above. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Upcycled Jewelry:** The upcycling trend can be applied to jewelry, leading to new product designs using recycled materials. - **Sustainable Fashion:** The skateboard ring showcases the potential of sustainable fashion by using an environmentally friendly approach to create stylish pieces. - **DIY Jewelry:** The use of recycled skateboard decks inspires a trend of DIY jewelry-making from other upcycled materials. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Jewelry:** The jewelry industry can adopt the idea of upcycling to create unique and environmentally conscious pieces. - **Fashion:** The sustainable fashion industry can use the concept of upcycling to promote environmentally friendly practices as well as innovative product designs. - **DIY:** The DIY industry can utilize the use of upcycled materials to encourage creative and sustainable practices in crafting. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Upcycled Skateboard Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-rpsd.md) - [Skateboarding-Inspired Wood Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-green-works.md) - [Accessible First-Time Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/redo-skateboards.md) - [Skateable Cardboard Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-chaos.md) - [Lightweight Plywood Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electraply-ebike.md) - [Iconic Pop Art Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skateroom-x-andy-warhol-foundation.md) - [Skateboard-Inspired Body Scales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skateboard-scale.md) - [Pencil Shaving-Inspired Decks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tropical-yoga-deck.md) - [Collaboration Automotive Ring Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manly-bands-x-jeep-rock-crawler-ring.md)
