It happens many times, that we have [feelings we can't express](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/global-mood-ring). Why not let our jewelry express them for us? I don't mean dressing in accordance of our mood. It's the other way round. Skintile was designed by [Philips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nowatch) with the help of the European project, STELLA, for their 'far-future' research, Design Probes. It surely looks beautiful, but do we really want our emotions to be - literally - out in the open? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **ELECTRIC JEWELRY:** The trend of wearable technology merging with traditional jewelry, providing innovative ways to express emotions. - **EMOTIONAL WEARABLES:** The trend of wearable devices that detect and express emotions, allowing individuals to communicate non-verbally. - **FUTURE FASHION:** The trend of incorporating advanced technology into fashion accessories, enabling a futuristic aesthetic. ### Sectors Adopting This - **JEWELRY:** The jewelry industry can explore opportunities in creating electric jewelry that enhances self-expression and emotional communication. - **TECHNOLOGY:** The technology industry can leverage emotional wearables to develop innovative solutions for non-verbal communication and self-expression. - **FASHION:** The fashion industry can embrace the fusion of advanced technology and traditional aesthetics to create futuristic fashion accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Emotional State-Monitoring Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuna-pendant.md) - [Heartbeat-Mimicking Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thetouch-locket.md) - [Temperature-Monitoring Earrings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thermal-earring.md) - [Minimalist AI Jewelry Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-ai-jewelry.md) - [Heartbeat Rhythmic Smart Lockets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thetouch.md) - [Smart Mental Health Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-ring.md) - [Simulated Heartbeat Necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bond-heart.md) - [Smart Heart-Shaped Pendants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bond-heart-necklace.md) - [Stress-Reducing Screenless Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nowatch.md)
